Methylene Blue as a Photo-Redox Catalyst: The Development Synthesis of Tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran Scaffolds via a Single-Electron Transfer/Energy Transfer

In a green tandem reaction using aldehyde derivatives, malononitrile, and dimedone, a radical tandem Knoevenagel–Michael cyclocondensation reaction of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran scaffolds was developed. Using visible light as a sustainable energy source, methylene blue (MB+)-derived photo-excited state...
