Atom‐Economical Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Ketones through Photocatalyzed CH Activation of Alkanes and Coupling with CO and Electrophilic Alkenes

Abstract

Eine Dreikomponentenkupplung zwischen Alkanen, CO und elektronenarmen Alkenen in Gegenwart von katalytischen Mengen (nBu4N)4W10O32 (TBADT) führt effizient zu unsymmetrischen Ketonen. Der Prozess beruht auf der Carbonylierung von Alkylradikalen, die photokatalytisch durch C-H-Aktivierung von Alkanen gebildet wurden, und der nachfolgenden Addition an Alkene (siehe Schema; EWG=elektronenziehende Gruppe).
