The direct decarboxylative allylation of N-arylglycine derivatives by photoredox catalysis†
Abstract
The direct decarboxylative allylation of N-arylglycine derivatives has been accomplished via visible-light photoredox catalysis. With the substrates of N-aryl glycine derivatives and allylsulfone, a series of allylation products by a redox-neutral process were readily synthesized in good yields under mild conditions. The further utility of this allylation reaction has also been evaluated for valuable structural motifs.
