A novel photoalkylation of electron-deficient alkenes by use of organotin compounds via photoinduced electron transfer
Abstract
Irradiation of 1-aryl-2,2-dicyanoethenes and tetraalkylstannanes in propionitrile in the presence of phenanthrene afforded regioselectively 1-alkyl-1-aryl-2,2-dicyanoethanes in good yields.
