The hydroalkylation of nitroalkenes and β-nitroacrylates via a photocatalytic strategy has been optimised under both batch and continuous flow conditions. This target has been achieved by exploiting the potentialities of the decatungstate anion as a versatile hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) photocatalyst for the generation of alkyl radicals from aliphatic heterocycles, amides and cycloalkanes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
