Abstract

AbstractHerein, we report a protocol for visible‐light‐mediated radical coupling reactions of α‐chloroketones and enol acetates to afford 1,4‐dicarbonyl compounds, which are important precursors and intermediates in organic synthesis. The reaction involves photoredox‐catalyzed activation of the α‐chloroketone upon photoelectron transfer, carbon–chlorine bond cleavage, and coupling of the resulting radical with the carbon–carbon double bond of the enol acetate. This mild protocol has a wide substrate scope and moderate to good yields.magnified image
