The use of photochemical reactions that do not require expensive photocatalysts or transition metals is an environmentally friendly strategy for accomplishing a variety of structural transformations. Herein, we report a protocol for photoinduced transition-metal- and external-photocatalyst-free intramolecular heteroaryl/aryl rearrangement reactions of 2-heteroaryl/aryloxybenzaldehydes. The protocol was compatible with a variety of functionalities, including methyl, methoxy, cyano, ester, trifluoromethyl, halogen, and heteroaromatic rings. Control experiments suggested that the reaction proceeded a photoinduced intramolecular heteroaryl/aryl rearrangement process involving photoexcitation of the aldehyde carbonyl group, radical addition, C-C bond formation and C(Ar)-O bond cleavage.
使用不需要昂贵光催化剂或过渡金属的光化学反应是实现各种结构转化的一种环境友好策略。在此,我们报告了一种用于2-杂芳基/芳氧基苯甲醛的光诱导无过渡金属和外部光催化剂的分子内杂芳基/芳基重排反应的方法。该方法与多种官能团兼容,包括甲基、甲氧基、氰基、酯基、三氟甲基、卤素和杂芳环。对照实验表明,该反应通过光诱导的分子内杂芳基/芳基重排过程进行,该过程涉及醛羰基的光激发、自由基加成、C-C键形成和C(Ar)-O键断裂。
