Abstract:It is a great challenge to remove the N-benzyl protecting group selectively by photocatalytic aerobic oxidation because amides or imines are easily formed from the oxidation of Nbenzylamine. In this study, a visible-light-induced debenzylation in yields of up to 88% was realized with a low catalytic loading of an organophotocatalyst [2 mol % 1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6dicyanobenzene (4CzIPN)] in the presence of air and HCl under mild conditions. Mechanisms involving two-electron-transfer processes, a p… Show more
