Mechanistic Investigations Towards a Successful PET with Breslow-Intermediates

Abstract

Experimental mechanistic studies to learn about suitable conditions for a successful photocatalytic oxidation of Breslow intermediates.<div>Key findings </div><div>a) address the effect of additives (oxidative, reductive) and assembly effects on PET and the dark reaction, </div><div>b) include the experimental support of a SET + HAT sequence directly connecting the primary adduct of aldhyde and NHC and the Breslow intermediate.</div>
