Abstract

Visible-light photoredox-catalyzed fragmentation of methyl N-phthalimidoyl oxalate allows the direct construction of a 1,4-dicarbonyl structural motif by a conjugate addition of the methoxycarbonyl radical to reactive Michael acceptors. The regioselectivity of the addition of this alkoxyacyl radical species to electron-deficient olefins is heavily influenced by the electronic nature of the acceptor, behavior similar to that exhibited by nucleophilic alkyl radicals.
