Abstract:By extending the photoinduced oxidative mechanism of aryl tertiary amines proposed earlier to an alkaline environment based on the prediction of quantum mechanics computations and the validation of meticulous experiments, we discovered a photoinduced oxidative N-dealkylation method for both aryl tertiary amines and amides. The dealkylation was achieved in an alkaline environment under mild conditions accompanied by excellent functional group tolerance.
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.
