In this review we present relevant and recent applications of porphyrin derivatives as photocatalysts in organic synthesis, involving both single electron transfer (SET) and energy transfer (ET) mechanistic approaches. We demonstrate that these highly conjugated photosensitizers show increasing potential in photocatalysis since they combine both photo- and electrochemical properties which can substitute available metalloorganic photocatalysts. Batch and continuous-flow approaches are presented highlighting the relevance of enabling technologies for the renewal of porphyrin applications in photocatalysis. Finally, the reaction scale in which the methodologies were developed are highlighted since this is an important parameter in the authors’ opinion.

卟啉作为光催化剂在有机合成中的最新应用：间歇和连续流动方法。

在这篇综述中，我们介绍了卟啉衍生物作为光催化剂在有机合成中的相关和最新应用，涉及单电子转移（SET）和能量转移（ET）的机械方法。我们证明了这些高度共轭的光敏剂在光催化中显示出越来越高的潜力，因为它们结合了可以替代可用的金属有机光催化剂的光和电化学特性。介绍了分批和连续流方法，突出了使能技术在光催化中更新卟啉应用的相关性。最后，强调了开发方法的反应规模，因为这是作者认为的重要参数。
