Copper‐Photoredox‐Catalyzed C(sp <sup>3</sup> )–C(sp <sup>3</sup> ) Reductive Cross‐Coupling of Alkyl Bromides with BCP‐Thianthrenium Reagents
Saikat Pandit, Tobias Ritter
Abstract
Herein, we report a reductive cross-coupling reaction of bicyclo[1.1.1]pentyl (BCP)-thianthrenium reagents and alkyl bromides. The reaction is catalyzed by a copper/photoredox catalyst system. The approach is the first example of a cross-coupling between BCP-based reagents with alkyl electrophiles.
