Regioselective Diels–Alder Reactions of Anthracenes with Olefins via Visible Light Photocatalysis in a Homogeneous Solution

Diels–Alder cycloaddition of anthracene with olefin is achieved in a homogeneous solution via energy transfer under visible light. A series of substrates including electroneutral styrene derivatives can be successfully converted into the corresponding cycloadducts in a head-to-head orientation with...

Description
Summary:Diels–Alder cycloaddition of anthracene with olefin is achieved in a homogeneous solution via energy transfer under visible light. A series of substrates including electroneutral styrene derivatives can be successfully converted into the corresponding cycloadducts in a head-to-head orientation with high to excellent yields. The high ortho-regioselectivity, mild condition, and broad substrate scope enable promising advances in organic transformation.
