Abstract

An expedient organic photoredox Pschorr reaction has been developed that opens up a synthetic route to 6H-benzo[c]chromenes. The process can be performed under mild conditions by using eosin Y as a photoredox catalyst and acetonitrile as the solvent. The diazonium salts can be either preformed or generated in situ from the corresponding amines with t-BuONO. The process is amenable to gram-sale synthesis of 6H-benzo[c]chromenes, which can be further transformed into both 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-ones through oxidation or to 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-amine through sp3 C–H bond amination. The protocol provides an attractive route for the synthesis of a library of 6H-benzo[c]chromes.
