Sustainable Chemistry: A Single-Atom Copper Photocatalyst Opens New Pathways for Selective N-Demethylation

  • Comments off

An international research consortium has developed an innovative heterogeneous single-atom copper photocatalyst supported on functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (Cu@f-gC3N4). The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, describes an efficient methodology for the selective N-demethylation of aliphatic and aromatic tertiary amines. Operating under exceptionally mild conditions with visible-light irradiation, the system utilizes molecular oxygen as […]
