Visible-Light-Induced Intermolecular Atom-Transfer Radical Addition of Benzyl Halides to Olefins: Facile Synthesis of Tetrahydroquinolines

Zusammenfassung

Cu(dap)(2)Cl has been utilized as a visible-light photoredox catalyst for the atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) of benzyl halides to styrenes and silyl enol ethers. The resulting ATRA products can be readily converted into tetrahydroquinolines.
