A variety of highly functionalised -containing polycycles (35 examples) are synthesised from simple indoles and aromatic ketones through a mild visible-light Paternò-Büchi process. Tetrahydrooxeto[2,3-]indole scaffolds, with up to three contiguous stereocenters, are generated in high yield (up to >98%) and excellent site- regio- and diastereocontrol (>20 : 1). The use of visible light (405 or 465 nm) ensures enhanced performances by switching off undesired photodimerisation side reactions. The reaction can be easily implemented using a microfluidic photoreactor with improved productivity (up to 0.176 mmol h) and generality. Mechanistic investigations revealed that two alternative reaction mechanisms can account for the excellent regio- and diastereocontrol observed.
通过温和的可见光帕滕诺-布齐反应,由简单的吲哚和芳香酮合成了多种含有高官能团化的多环化合物(35个实例)。生成了具有多达三个相邻立体中心的四氢氧杂环丁烷并[2,3 - ]吲哚支架,产率高(高达>98%),位点、区域和非对映体控制优异(>20 : 1)。使用可见光(405或465 nm)通过关闭不需要的光二聚化副反应确保了性能的提升。该反应可以使用微流控光反应器轻松实现,具有更高的生产率(高达0.176 mmol/h)和通用性。机理研究表明,两种替代反应机制可以解释所观察到的优异区域和非对映体控制。
