Synthesis of cyclopent-1-enecarbonitriles via a tandem Giese/HWE reaction initiated by visible light

Abstract

In the manuscript, a novel method for the preparation of cyclopent-1-enecarbonitriles via tandem Giese/HWE reaction initiated by visible light in the presence of fac-Ir(ppy)3 as a photocatyst has been described....

Visible Light Promoted [3+2]-Cycloaddition for the Synthesis of Cyclopenta[b]chromenocarbonitrile Derivatives

“…In continuation of our interest in the development of photocatalytic reactions, 10 we turned our attention to the application of 3-cyanochromones and N -cyclopropyloamines as convenient starting materials for the synthesis of, interesting from a medicinal point of view, cyclopenta[ b ]chromenocarbonitrile products ( Scheme 2 ).…”
