Intermolecular Radical Addition to Carbonyls Enabled by Visible Light Photoredox Initiated Hole Catalysis

JacsIntermolecular Radical Addition to Carbonyls Enabled by Visible Light Photoredox Initiated Hole Catalysis: Herein, we present a novel strategy for the utilization of simple carbonyl compounds, aldehydes and ketones, as intermolecular radical acceptors. The reaction is enabled by visible light photoredox initiated hole catalysis and thein situ Br ønsted acid activation of the carbonyl compound.
