AI Article Synopsis

  • The text discusses a method for adding two functional groups to 1,3-dienes using a photoinduced copper catalyst.
  • This process involves generating a selenium atom radical through visible light, which reacts to form an allyl radical intermediate.
  • The allyl radical can then quickly isomerize and undergo copper-catalyzed reactions with different nucleophiles, allowing for selective functionalization.

Article Abstract

Described herein is a photoinduced copper-catalyzed 1,2-difunctionalization of 1,3-dienes. The selenium atom radical was generated by the visible light irradiation of diselenides, triggering radical addition with 1,3-dienes to form allyl radical intermediate. Subsequent rapid / isomerization allowed for thermodynamically favorable intermediate formation and enabled copper catalyzed stereoselective functionalization with various nucleophiles.
