Abstract
The selective cleavage of CN bonds in tertiary amines to form secondary amines is a promising strategy for constructing diverse nitrogen-containing compounds. Herein, we introduce a simple method for the selective N-dealkylation of ring-strained tertiary amines under blue LED light irradiation using 4CzIPN as photocatalyst and CCl4 as oxidant with up to 99% yield.
