Serendipity! !!•  Serendipity: Fortunate Discoveries by Accident!

•  Serendip, a former name for Sri Lanka + -ity.!

•  In Science: !

“ It is true that my discovery of LSD was a chance discovery, but it was! the outcome of planned experiments and these experiments took place! in the framework of systematic pharmaceutical, chemical research. It! could better be described as serendipity ”!

For an early discussion of visible light in photochemical reactions see Ciamician, G. Science 1912, 36, 385–394. ! !

Why Photoredox Catalysis? !

Visible Light (43% of Solar Energy): Readily available, clean and renewable.!!An attractive “reagent” for organic synthesis!!•  Potential byproducts are minimized!•  Atom economical!•  Mild alternative to traditional methods!•  Environmentally friendly!

! !

!Problem: Many organic molecules are unable to absorb! visible light requiring highly specialized energy !

! sources for traditional photochemistry!!Solution: Photoredox catalysis!

Why Photoredox Catalysis? !

!“It is a relatively young and emerging field in organic synthesis that has recently delivered a variety of powerful bond-forming processes” !!
