Reactivity Of Photogenerated Amine Radical Cations, Qile Wang
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Recently photoredox catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool in organic synthesis led by Professor McMillan, Stephenson, Yoon. Upon absorption of visible light, photocatalyst can be excited to its singlet state followed by intersystem crossing to form a long lived excited triplet state. While amine serves as electron donor, single electron transfer (SET) can happen between excited triplet photocatalyst and nitrogen atom on amine to give a reduced photocatalyst and amine radical cation.
Cyclopropylamines or cyclobutylamines can be oxidized by excited photocatalyst to generate amine radical cations and due to the ring strain, subsequent C-C bond cleavages can lead to …
