α-Oxygenation of N -aryl/alkyl heterocyclic compounds via ruthenium photocatalysis

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We herein, report ruthenium(III) photocatalyzed oxidation of N-aryl tertiary amines to corresponding amides. More specifically, various N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines were converted to analogous N-aryl dihydroisoquinolinones under oxygenous atmosphere. Molecular oxygen is...
