Article Synopsis
- The research presents a new method for organic catalysis using a combination of photo and copper catalysts to enhance chemical synthesis.
- It focuses on an aminoalkylation process involving olefins and maleimides, yielding a variety of functionalized nitrogen-based compounds without needing extra photosensitizers or bases.
- The study explores the mechanism behind this method through multiple experimental techniques, including control experiments and theoretical analyses like radical scavenging and cyclic voltammetry.
The novel polychloromethylation/acyloxylation of 1,6-enynes with chloroalkanes and diacyl peroxides through dual-role designs has been developed to prepare 2-pyrrolidinone derivatives with polychloromethyl units with the use of an inexpensive copper salt under mild conditions. This strategy includes two dual-role designs, not only improving atomic utilization but also allowing a cleaner process. The wide substrate scope and simple reaction conditions demonstrate the practicability of this protocol.
