Sunlight-Driven Forging of Amide/Ester Bonds from Three Independent Components: An Approach to Carbamates
摘要:
A photoredox catalytic route to carbamates enabled by visible irradiation (or simply sunlight) has been developed. This process leads to a novel approach to the construction of heterocyclic rings wherein the amide or ester motifs of carbamates were assembled from three isolated components. Large-scale experiments were realized by employing continuous flow techniques, and reuse of photocatalyst demonstrated the green and sustainable aspects of this method.
The temperature required for flash pyrolytic elimination of water from -aminobenzyl alcohols and of carbon dioxide from dihydrobenzoxazinones to give azaxylylenes is considerably lowered by the presence of alumina and silica gel in the hot zone.
