Published Paper

Writer: JPBJPB

Xianhai's paper on e-PRC reductive cleavage of alcohols to carbanions is published in Angew. Chem.Check it out! (open access)

Really intriguing reactivity and mechanism - thanks to preassembly via our new radical anion catalyst, we can tolerate aryl halides under super-reductive conditions, instead cleaving C(sp3)-O bonds in olefination/deoxygenation reactions. SET takes place in an anti-Kasha photochemical fashion, harnessing the full visible photon energy. An emitting state (quartet ?), which is SET inactive, can photoisomerize olefin products to Z-isomers.



Huge congratulations to all involved!

Tobias from AK König did the spectroscopic studies, Sebastian from AK de Vivie-Riedle (LMU) did the computational studies, and our Shahboz contributed to the substrate scope.
