Abstract
Herein, we present a green scheme for the divergent synthesis of two polysubstituted quinolines from a singular substrate via exploiting free-radical duality. Photocatalytically generated imine radicals produce 3,4-disubstituted quinolines via a novel rearrangement in the presence of an inorganic base. Alternatively, they react in the presence of an organic base to furnish 2,3-disubstituted quinolines. Mechanism studies support the hypothesis that the electrophilic/nucleophilic bias of free radicals can be adjusted by altering the reaction conditions.
