Abstract
Herein, a photocatalytic strategy for the synthesis of secondary alcohols by nucleophilic addition of an alkene with an aldehyde is described. This operationally simple methodology opens an approach for the synthesis of alcohols using commercially available reagents in moderate to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies indicate that the formation of the radical anion from alkene via single-electron transfer is the key step in this reaction.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
