Metal-Free Radical-Mediated C(sp3)–H Heteroarylation of Alkanes
摘要:
Herein we disclose a metal-free, N/O-centered radical-promoted Minisci reaction, in which the coupling of various heteroarenes with simple alkanes proceeds under mild conditions. The reaction conditions are neutral; no extra acid is added to preactivate N-heteroarenes in the Minisci reaction. The N-/O-centered radicals are generated directly from amide (TsNHMe) or alcohol (CF3CH2OH) under visible-light irradiation. This green and eco-friendly synthetic process may find potential use in medicinal chemistry.
A metal-free deformylative Minisci-type reaction is disclosed by using aliphatic aldehydes as alkyl radical precursors. The reaction proceeds via a sequence of hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) from aldehyde and decarbonylation under mild photochemical conditions. The transformation offers many advantages including good regioselectivity, broad substrate scope, and easy operation. The reaction is also
