Overcoming Back Electron Transfer in the Electron Donor–Acceptor Complex-Mediated Visible Light-Driven Generation of α-Aminoalkyl Radicals from Secondary Anilines
[Image: see text] An additive-free, visible light-driven annulation between N-aryl amino acids and maleimide to form tetrahydroquinolines (THQs) is disclosed. Photochemical activation of an electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complex between amino acids and maleimides drives the reaction, and aerobic oxyg...

Sumario: | [Image: see text] An additive-free, visible light-driven annulation between N-aryl amino acids and maleimide to form tetrahydroquinolines (THQs) is disclosed. Photochemical activation of an electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complex between amino acids and maleimides drives the reaction, and aerobic oxygen acts as the terminal oxidant in the net oxidative process. A range of N-aryl amino acids and maleimides have been investigated as substrates to furnish the target THQ in good to excellent yield. Mechanistic investigations, including titration and UV–vis studies, demonstrate the key role of the EDA complex as the photoactive species. |
