Visible-light-excited 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (PQ*) was used as a photocatalyst for the synthesis of polysubstituted quinolines via the electrocyclization of 2-vinylarylimines. Up to quantitative yields of 2,4-disubstituted quinolines were received after 1 h of excitation with blue LEDs at room temperature when MgCO3 was used as an additive in DCM. On the basis of experimental and DFT studies, we
可见光激发的 9,10-

亚胺的电环化合成多取代的
喹啉。当 MgCO 3用作 DCM 中的添加剂时,在室温下用蓝色 LED 激发 1 小时后,可得到高达定量的 2,4-二取代
喹啉。在实验和 DFT 研究的基础上,我们提出 PQ* 诱导
亚胺底物的单电子氧化,从而触发电环化机制。
