The activation of carbon-fluorine bonds is challenging, yet crucial for breaking down harmful PFAS. Our organic photoredox catalyst system addresses this, enabling more efficient reactions.
This approach allows for the direct activation of organofluorines under mild conditions, paving the way for environmental remediation of persistent compounds like PFAS through hydrodefluorination.
Our findings suggest a significant advancement in synthetic methodologies for organohalide functional groups, particularly in context with photocatalysis where the need is increasingly pressing.
Implementing this method could revolutionize the way we approach chemical synthesis targeting environmentally damaging substances, making the defluorination process more accessible and effective.
