Abstract

Abstract Through the use of [Ru (bpy) 3 Cl 2](bpy= 2, 2′-bipyridine) and [Ir (ppy) 3](ppy= phenylpyridine) as photocatalysts, we have achieved the first example of visible-light photocatalytic radical alkenylation of various α-carbonyl alkyl bromides and benzyl bromides to furnish α-vinyl carbonyls and allylbenzene derivatives, prominent structural elements of many bioactive molecules. Specifically, this transformation is regiospecific and can ...
