Visible-light-induced alkyl-arylation of olefins <i>via</i> a halogen-atom transfer process
Ren Juan, Xiao‐Feng Xia
Abstract
a photocatalytic halogen-atom transfer (XAT) process. This metal-free protocol utilizes readily available tertiary alkylamine as both an electron donor and an XAT reagent for the activation of alkyl halides using naphthalimide (NI)-based organic photocatalysts. This process features broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance under mild conditions, and could be effectively applied to a variety of medicinally relevant substrates.
