Photo-induced peroxy-pyridylation of alkenes via metal-free photocatalysis

Key Points

• The aim is to develop a metal-free method for the peroxy-pyridylation of alkenes using photocatalysis.
• Developed a metal-free photocatalytic process
• Used oxime ester and tert-butyl hydroperoxide as substrates
• Performed reactions under visible-light irradiation
• Successfully introduced a peroxy group and pyridine moiety into alkenes
• Achieved good yields of the desired products under visible-light conditions
