General description

2,2′,4′-Trichloroacetophenone is an α-haloketone. It undergoes reduction to 2′,4′-dichloroacetophenone by glutathione-dependent cytosolic enzymes present in the liver, kidney and brain. It participates in the microwave induced N-alkylation of several azoles to afford the corresponding 1-(2′,4′-dichlorophenacyl)azoles.

Photocatalytic polymers offer an alternative to prevailing organometallics and nanomaterials, and they may benefit from polymer-mediated catalytic and material enhancements. MPC-1, a polymer photoredox catalyst reported herein, exhibits enhanced catalytic activity arising from charge transfer states (CTSs) between its two
