Carbonylation of Alkyl Radicals Derived from Organosilicates through Visible‐Light Photoredox Catalysis

Abstract

Abstract Primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals formed by the photocatalyzed oxidation of organosilicates underwent efficient carbonylation with carbon monoxide (CO) to give a variety of unsymmetrical ketones. This study introduces the possibility of radical carbonylation under a photooxidative regime.
