Abstract
The photochemical reactivity of acyl azolium salts derived from aliphatic carboxylic acids has been investigated. These species, which serve as models for intermediates generated in N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis, undergo Norrish type II elimination reactions under irradiation with UVA light in analogy to structurally related aromatic ketones. Moreover, efficient Norrish-Yang cyclization was observed from an adamantyl-substituted derivative. These results further demonstrate the ability of NHCs to influence the absorption properties and photochemical reactivity of carbonyl groups during a catalytic cycle.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
