DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nSynthetic organic chemistry undertakes significant
  efforts to develop new catalytic transformations that utilize greener rea
 gents and avoid stoichiometric additives. In this regard\, visible-light p
 hotoredox catalysis offers a unique activation mode of molecules\, which s
 erves as an alternative to many thermal transition-metals catalyzed reacti
 ons. The vast majority of photoredox-catalyzed processes capitalizes on he
 avy metals\, namely\, Ru(II) or Ir(III)-complexes which can serve as singl
 e electron oxidants or reductants in their photoexcited states. Copper-bas
 ed photocatalysts are rapidly emerging\, offering not only economic and ec
 ologic advantages but\, in addition\, can interact with substrates beyond 
 electron transfer via inner sphere mechanisms\, which have been successful
 ly utilized to achieve challenging transformations. Alternatively\, polycy
 clic arenes or donoracceptor complexes of substrates and reagents can prom
 ote photocatalytic transformations. Selected synthetic applications from o
 ur laboratory will be discussed\, highlighting the complementary opportuni
 ties of copper and other inexpensive photocatalysts.\n\n \n\nBio:\n\nOlive
 r Reiser studied chemistry at the Universities of Hamburg\, Jerusalem\, an
 d Los Angeles (UCLA) and obtained his Ph.D. in 1989 with Prof. Dr. Armin d
 e Meijere. He spent 2.5 years as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. R. Miller\
 , IBM Research Center\, San Jose\, USA\, and with Prof. Dr. D. A. Evans\, 
 Harvard University\, Cambridge\, USA. In 1992 he moved to the University o
 f Göttingen as an Assistant Professor\, and in 1996 he moved to the Univer
 sity of Stuttgart as an Associate Professor. Since 1997 he has been a Prof
 essor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Regensburg\, having served
  as Vice President and currently as Dean responsible for Research. His gro
 up’s research interests are focused on developing sustainable methodology 
 for converting renewable resources towards value-added compounds\n
