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

The behavior of 2-naphthol and 7-bromo-2-naphthol as organic photoacids are exploited in organic synthesis for the preparation of benzyl sulfides (using a trichloroacetimidate derivative as the starting substrate) and polycyclic amines via acid catalyzed condensation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline with aldehydes.
