Photocatalytic Alkyl Radical Addition Tandem Oxidation of Alkenyl Borates.

Photocatalytic oxidation is a popular transformation way for organic synthesis and is widely applied in academia and industry. Herein, we report a blue light-induced alkylation-oxidation tandem reaction for the synthesis of diverse ketones by combining alkyl radical addition and oxidation of alkenyl borates. This reaction shows excellent functional group compatibility in acceptable yields, and diversity of radical precursors is applicable.
