Photo-oxidative decarboxylation of phenylacetic acids induced by pyrimido[5,4-g]pteridine-10-oxide involving a single-electron-transfer process in both Stages
Abstract
Irradiation of phenylacetic acid derivatives (3a–d) in the presence of pyrimido [5,4-g]pteridine-10-oxide (1) with UV visible light gives the corresponding benzaldehyde derivatives (4a–d) as the major product via a single-electron-transfer process in both stages.
