Abstract

Efficient intramolecular α-arylation of ketones is achieved by the reaction of silyl enol ethers to photosensitized electron transfer (PET) generated arene radical cations. The arene radical cations are generated by one-electron transfer from the excited state of the methoxy- substituted arenes to ground-state 1, 4-dicyanonaphthalene (DCN). This arylation strategy has provided the unique opportunity of constructing five-(23), six-(18), seven-(25) and ...
