Visible-light-induced regioselective synthesis of polyheteroaromatic compounds

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Mar 18;52(22):4203-6. doi: 10.1039/c6cc00562d.

Abstract

A method for visible-light-induced synthesis of polyheteroaromatics from 2-heteroaryl-substituted anilines and heteroarylalkynes was developed. The process, which uses fac-Ir(ppy)3 as the photocatalyst and (t)BuONO as the diazotization reagent, is highly regioselective.
