Pursuing high efficiency in photocatalytic oxidative couplings of heteroarenes and aliphatic C–H bonds

Abstract

5- and 6-Membered heteroarenes, both azoles and azines, were directly alkylated by alkanes, ethers and carbamates using t-butyl peroxybenzoate under LED irradiation. As a serendipitous finding, an organic photosensitizer, 9,10-dichloroanthracene,...
