Abstract
AbstractPhotoacids are molecules that become more acidic upon the absorption of light. This short review highlights recent advances in the use of photoacids as catalysts for organic synthesis. Photoacid-catalyzed transformations discussed herein include: Protonation, glycosylation, acetalization, and arylation reactions.1 Introduction2 Protonation: Excited-State Proton Transfer (ESPT)3 Glycosylation4 Acetalization5 Friedel–Crafts Arylation6 Additional C–C and C–S Bond-Forming Reactions7 Conclusion
