Photoredox ketone catalysis for the direct C-H imidation and acyloxylation of arenes.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The photoexcited aryl ketone-catalyzed C-H imidation of arenes and heteroarenes is reported. Using 3,6-dimethoxy-9H-thioxanthen-9-one as a catalyst in combination with a bench-stable imidating reagent, C-N bond formation proceeds with high efficiency and a broad substrate scope. A key part of this method is that the thioxanthone catalyst acts as an excited-state reductant, thus establishing an oxidative quenching cycle for radical aromatic substitution. The synthetic potential of this photoexcited ketone catalysis is further demonstrated by application to the direct C-H acyloxylation of arenes.
