Abstract:
We report a photocatalytic approach for the installation of the amide moiety onto para-quinone methides. This transformation features a net reductive approach for the generation of carbamoyl radicals from amide-substituted Hantzsch ester derivatives under transition metal-free conditions. This protocol exhibits wide scope and allows access to diarylacetamides employing a C-C bond formation approach.

01:17Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones
3.3K
In the presence of oxidizing agents, phenols are oxidized to quinones. Quinones can be easily reduced back to phenols using mild reducing agents. The electron-donating hydroxyl group enhances the reactivity of the aromatic ring, enabling oxidation of the ring even in the absence of an α hydrogen.
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox...

01:12Cycloaddition Reactions: MO Requirements for Photochemical Activation
2.2K
Some cycloaddition reactions are activated by heat, while others are initiated by light. For example, a [2 + 2] cycloaddition between two ethylene molecules occurs only in the presence of light. It is photochemically allowed but thermally forbidden.
