Abstract

Visible light-driven proton transfer is crucial in nature and catalysis. Here, we report that protic merocyanine-based photoswitches act as efficient and recyclable homogeneous Br & oslash;nsted acid catalysts under blue or green light irradiation. Photo-promoted proton release efficiently enables Friedel-Crafts reactions with easy catalyst recovery and reuse. Furthermore, by leveraging the high two-photon absorption cross-section of merocyanines, we successfully promote the reaction using near-IR light (lambda similar to 975 nm).
