Abstract:
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs), as a powerful one-pot combinatorial synthesis tool, have been recently applied to the synthesis of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Compared with the thermally driven MCRs, the photocatalytic MCR-based COF synthesis has not yet been investigated. Herein, we first report the construction of COFs by a photocatalytic multicomponent reaction. Upon visible-light irradiation, a series of COFs with excellent crystallinity, stability, and permanent porosity are successfully synthesized via photoredox-catalyzed multicomponent Petasis reaction under ambient conditions. Additionally, the obtained Cy-N-COF exhibits excellent photoactivity and recyclability for the visible-light-driven oxidative hydroxylation of arylboronic acids. The concept of photocatalytic multicomponent polymerization not only enriches the methodology for COF synthesis but also opens a new avenue for the construction of COFs that might not be possible with the existing synthetic methods based on thermally driven MCRs.
