)−H Selenylation and Sulfenylation of Substituted 2‐Amino‐1,4‐Naphthoquinones
摘要:
AbstractA photochemical method based on visible‐light (white LEDs/sunlight) irradiation has been developed for the regioselective and oxidative C(sp2)−H selenylation and sulfenylation of substituted 2‐amino‐1,4‐naphthoquinones under oxygen atmosphere. The photochemical process does not require any external photoredox catalysts. The other notable advantages of this protocol are metal‐free synthesis, visible light/sunlight as energy sources, good substrate scope, and moderate to good yields (41–91 %) with high regioselectivity.
