Abstract
A highly efficient photoinduced iron-catalyzed method has been developed for the direct use of alcohols as surrogates for organometallic reagents in the synthesis of tertiary alcohols. This method can be applied to both primary and secondary alcohols with diverse structures, enabling their reaction with aryl ketones under mild conditions. A variety of functional groups, including those that are typically reactive under conventional tertiary alcohol synthesis conditions, are compatible. Mechanistically, this reaction proceeds through the direct addition of the radical to the carbonyl pathway.
