Charge transfer complex enabled photoreduction of Wittig phosphonium salts†
Abstract
A photoinduced charge transfer complex strategy enabled (alkoxycarbonyl)methylation reaction of alkenes with phosphonium salts has been reported. This strategy provides a convenient strategy to functionalize indoles, 1,1-diphenylethylenes, enamides, and N-phenyl acrylamides with easily available phosphonium salts.
