Visible-Light Photoredox-catalyzed Decarboxylative α-tertiary butylation of C(sp3)−H Bond of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines with Pivalic acid under Transition-metal-free Conditions
Keyword(s):
A transition-metal-free visible-light photoredox-catalyzed decarboxylative alkylation of benzylic C-(sp3)−H bonds of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines is reported. The developed methodology tolerates various functional groups and proceeds smoothly without the requirement of stoichiometric oxidants. A preliminary mechanistic study indicated that a radical process is involved in the reaction.
