The research aims to explore the use of acridinium amidate as a photocatalyst for alkylation reactions.
Utilized visible-light photocatalysis to facilitate decarboxylation.
Employed acridinium amidate to generate carbon radicals directly from carboxylic acids.
Successful generation of carbon radicals from various carboxylic acids.
Demonstrated effective alkylation of the derived radicals, suggesting the method enhances molecular diversity.
Abstract
The direct generation of carbon radicals from carboxylic acids under visible-light photocatalysis offers an appealing strategy for molecular diversification.
