Photoactivation of Electron Donor–Acceptor Complexes for C(sp 2 )–H Amination of Arenes Using an Organocatalytic Acceptor

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: from the combination of pyridine and either LiOTf or HOTf. The reactions proceed with irradiation using 370 nm LEDs, and the pyridine/acid acceptor can serve as a catalyst under aerobic conditions. This represents a rare example of a catalytic acceptor in EDA photochemistry.
