Abstract
We here report the use of a sterically tuned 2-fluoro-1-methylpyridinium salt for the catalyst-free, visible-light-mediated deoxygenative transformation of alcohols through alkoxypyridinium intermediates. The key to this process is the introduction of a bulky cyclohexyl group at the 3-position of the pyridinium ring, which enforces a favorable conformation for C–O bond cleavage and the formation of an electron donor–acceptor complex between the pyridinium ring and amines.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
