Silyl-mediated photoredox-catalyzed Giese reaction: addition of non-activated alkyl bromides
Keyword(s):
The development of a conjugate addition reaction of non-activated alkyl bromides to Michael acceptors under visible-light photoredox catalysis is disclosed. A diverse set of alkyl bromides was successfully added to α,β-unsaturated esters and amides. This transformation allowed access to a key intermediate of Vorinostat®, an HDAC inhibitor used to fight cancer and HIV.
