Intermolecular Addition of Glycosyl Halides to Alkenes Mediated by Visible Light.

摘要

Catching Photons: Visible light, an amine reductant, and a Ru(bpy)32+ photocatalyst can be used to mediate the addition of glycosyl halides into alkenes to synthesize important C-glycosides. This method highlights the growing potential of photocatalysis to effectively drive useful and difficult chemical transformations.
