Visible-light photoredox-catalyzed three-component radical alkyl-acylation of [1.1.1]propellane†
Abstract
We described herein a three-component radical alkyl-acylation of [1.1.1]propellane via a visible-light photoredox single electron transfer process, demonstrating an efficient approach for accessing a diverse array of 1,3-disubstituted BCP ketone derivatives. The synthetic utility of the present radical protocol was further demonstrated by the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of the BCP ketone for BCP ester formation.
