Abstract
Photoinduced direct α-alkylation reactions of ketones with arylalkenes using an organophotocatalyst and a Brønsted base were developed. It was found that the choice of both Brønsted base and photocatalyst was crucial, and in the presence of catalytic amounts of 2,4,6-tris(diphenylamino)-3,5-difluorobenzonitrile (3DPA2FBN) and LiOtBu, the desired reactions of ketones with styrene analogues proceeded smoothly under blue-LED light irradiation to afford the products in moderate to high yields. This method constitutes an atom-economical alkylation process for α-functionalization of both cyclic and acyclic ketones.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
