A Novel Intermolecular Synthesis of γ-Lactones via Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis
摘要:
Direct gamma-lactone formation via visible-light photoredox catalysis has been achieved efficiently including hydroxylalkylation of aromatic alkenes and transesterification. The present photocatalytic protocol has good regioselectivity and substrate compatibility, affording a novel way to intermolecular gamma-lactone synthesis by the reaction of styrenes with alpha-bromo esters in the absence of any external oxidants.

A conceptually distinct strategy enabling malonylamination of alkenes with abundant amines and iodonium ylides without assistance of any transition metal was developed. Succinimide was identified as a proton shuttle that can not only largely accelerate the process of trapping highly unstable radical ion pairs with alkenes but also significantly improve the chemical yields.
