Photoredox-catalyzed dicarbofunctionalization of styrenes with amines and CO2: a convenient access to γ-amino acids†
Abstract
A visible-light-promoted carbocarboxylation of styrenes using CO2 and amines is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by a photoredox catalyst and is compatible with a variety of amines and styrenes. This method affords highly functionalized γ-amino acids in good yields with high regioselectivity.
