of complex rings. Herein, we demonstrate a process for photochemical dearomative reduction of quinolines. The process involves capture of a quinoline excited state with γ-terpinene. Importantly, the reaction is chemoselective as other easily reduced functionalities such as halogens or alkenes do not undergo reduction. The mechanism of the reaction has also been investigated. Finally, the generality of
芳香支架的饱和对于复杂环的合成很有价值。在这里,我们展示了
喹啉的光
化学脱芳香还原过程。该过程涉及用 γ-
萜品烯捕获
喹啉激发态。重要的是,该反应具有
化学选择性,因为其他容易还原的官能团(例如卤素或烯烃)不会发生还原。还研究了该反应的机理。最后,证明了该方法对其他基材的普遍性。
