3-Amino-fluorene-2,4-dicarbonitriles (AFDCs) as Photocatalysts for the Decarboxylative Arylation of alpha-Amino Acids and alpha-Oxy Acids with Arylnitriles

摘要

1-(4-(9H-Carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)-3-amino-9H-fluorene-2,4-dicarbonitrile as a new photocatalyst for the decarboxylative cross-coupling reaction of alpha-amino acids or alpha-oxy carboxylic acids with arylnitriles is described. This light-driven reaction enables a variety of benzylic amines and ethers to be prepared from readily available starting materials under mild conditions.
