Selective photoalkylation of 10-methylacridinium ion with tetra-alkylstannanes or diethylmercury using visible irradiation
Abstract
Efficient and selective photoalkylation of 10-methylacridinium ion with tetra-alkyltin compounds and diethylmercury is initiated by electron transfer from the alkylmetals to the singlet excited state of 10-methylacridinium ion in acetonitrile under irradiation with visible light.
