Photoredox catalysts have recently been utilized as powerful tools for synthetic chemists to exploit the energy gained by the absorption of low-energy light within the visible spectrum to initiate a variety of organic transformations.[1] The development of methods based on the single electron transfer properties of photoredox catalysts, particularly in the last several years, has represented a paradigm shift with respect to the way synthetic chemists consider both photochemistry and redox manipulations of organic molecules.[2-4] In addition, the advent of new technologies has enabled chemists to conduct reactions with greater efficiency than ever before. Among these new technologies is the development and wide implementation of flow reactors.[5-6] Conducting transformations in flow has many advantages compared to the more traditional batch reactions, in particular: more predictable reaction scale-up, decreased …
