Copper(i)-catalysed oxidative C–N coupling of 2-aminopyridine with terminal alkynes featuring a C
C bond cleavage promoted by visible light†
Abstract
Facile visible-light promoted copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative C–N coupling between 2-aminopyridine and terminal alkynes at room temperature via C
C triple bond cleavage is described. This reaction allows direct synthesis of biologically important pyridyl amides by utilization of commercially available starting materials without the need for bases/external oxidants.
