Transition metal-free photocatalytic radical annulation of 2-cyanoaryl acrylamides with difluoromethyl radicals to assemble 4-amino-quinolinone derivatives

Abstract

The transformation of iminyl radical into primary amine is a challenge work. Practical and green catalytic system to trigger difluoromethyl radical is highly desired. Herein, we developed a metal-free photocatalytic...
