Photoredox activation for the direct ?-arylation of ketones and aldehydes.


ABSTRACT: The direct ?-activation of saturated aldehydes and ketones has long been an elusive transformation. We found that photoredox catalysis in combination with organocatalysis can lead to the transient generation of 5?-electron ?-enaminyl radicals from ketones and aldehydes that rapidly couple with cyano-substituted aryl rings at the carbonyl ?-position. This mode of activation is suitable for a broad range of carbonyl ?-functionalization reactions and is amenable to enantioselective catalysis.
