‐Chloroketonation of Aromatic Alkenes via Visible‐Light‐Induced LMCT
摘要:
AbstractHere we report a copper‐catalyzed protocol for the synthesis of α‐chloroketones from aromatic alkenes including electron‐deficient olefins under visible‐light irradiation. Preliminary mechanistic studies show that the peroxo Cu(II) species is the key intermediate and hydroperoxyl (HOO⋅) and chlorine (Cl⋅) radicals can be generated by ligand‐to‐metal charge transfer (LMCT).
