Synthesis and properties of BODIPY polymers and their photocatalytic performance for aerobic oxidation of benzylamine

• Synthesis of BODIPY polymer by Suzuki coupling reaction
• The improvement of dispersibility and catalytic efficiency by loading on silica powder
• Photocatalytic performance and reused performance for aerobic oxidation of benzylamine
• Plausible reaction mechanism for photooxidation

A solid BODIPY polymer was synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction, which was an efficient heterogeneous photocatalyst for oxidative condensation of benzylamine with 2-aminothiophenol under mild conditions. Being highly thermally and photochemically stable under irradiation, it could be reused several times.
