A visible-light-promoted transfer hydrogenation of azobenzenes has been developed. In the presence of Bpin and upon visible-light irradiation, the reactions proceeded smoothly in methanol at ambient temperature. The azobenzenes with diverse functional groups have been reduced to the corresponding hydrazobenzenes with a yield of up to 96%. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that the hydrogen atom comes from the solvent and the transformation is achieved through a radical pathway.
已开发出一种可见光促进的偶氮苯转移氢化反应。在Bpin存在下且经可见光照射,反应在甲醇中于室温下顺利进行。具有不同官能团的偶氮苯已被还原为相应的氢化偶氮苯,产率高达96%。初步机理研究表明,氢原子来自溶剂,且该转化是通过自由基途径实现的。
