The significance of redox catalysis lies in its ability to facilitate the synthesis of organic molecules with high efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability. Traditional approaches to redox reactions often rely on stoichiometric reagents or harsh reaction conditions, leading to issues such as waste generation and environmental pollution. In contrast, modern redox catalytic processes offer greener and more atom-economic alternatives by harnessing the power of catalysis to mediate these transformations selectively under mild conditions.
Redox reactions, lie at the heart of numerous synthetic transformations crucial to the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, materials, and more. Through this Research Topic, we aim to spotlight innovative approaches and catalytic systems that address these challenges while enabling more sustainable and efficient redox transformations. Contributions to this article collection will delve into diverse aspects of redox catalysis, including novel catalyst design, mechanistic insights, substrate scope expansion, and synthetic applications in complex molecule synthesis. This Research Topic aims to identify promising directions for future research and development featuring research at the interface of chemistry, catalysis, and materials science. The goal is also to present cutting-edge research and methodologies that harness enabling technologies such as microwave and ultrasound irradiation, mechanochemistry, photochemistry and continuous flow and non-conventional solvents. A wide range of applications can be covered from new organic transformations, synthesis of natural and pharmaceutical products, to water treatment and material chemistry.
This Research Topic welcomes Original Research, Review, Mini Review and Perspective articles dealing with experimental and theoretical features of recent trends on catalytic redox approaches, including, but not limited to:
• Development of green and sustainable protocols for redox catalysis of organic molecules
• Continuous flow and non-conventional approaches for the synthesis of small molecules by redox processes
• Photocatalysis or photoelectocatalysis in redox reactions
Keywords:
organic synthesis, green chemistry, transfer hydrogenation, photochemistry, electrochemistry
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
