Abstract:Alkyl radicals generated via an acridine photocatalyzed
decarboxylation
reaction of feedstock carboxylic acids engage with a range of cyclic
imine–BF3 complexes to provide α-functionalized
azacycles in an operationally simple process. A three-component variant
of this transformation incorporating [1.1.1]propellane as an additional
reaction partner enables the synthesis of valuable bicyclopentane
(BCP)-containing azacycles. Reactions exhibit good functional group
compatibility, enabling late-stage modification … Show more
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.
