Description

We report light‐induced reactions in a two‐chromophore system capable of sequence‐independent λ‐orthogonal reactivity relying solely on the choice of wavelength and solvent. In a solution of water and acetonitrile, LED irradiation at λmax=285 nm leads to full conversion of 2,5‐diphenyltetrazoles with N‐ethylmaleimide to the pyrazoline ligation products. Simultaneously present o‐methylbenzaldehyde thioethers are retained. Conversely, LED irradiation at λmax=382 nm is used to induce ligation of the o‐methylbenzaldehydes in acetonitrile with N‐ethylmaleimide via o‐quinodimethanes, while 2,5‐diphenyltetrazoles also present are retained. This unprecedented photochemical selectivity is achieved through control of the number and wavelength of incident photons as well as favorable optical properties and quantum yields of the reactants in their environment.

28 citations in Scopus
23 citations in Web of Science®
Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
