Zwitterionic Acridinium Amidate for Photocatalytic Acceptorless Dehydrogenation
Abstract The development of catalytic systems that facilitate simple yet valuable molecular transformations in a sustainable manner is of fundamental importance in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. Herein, we report the expedient application of a zwitterionic acridinium amidate, a recently developed direct hydrogen-atom-transfer catalyst, in catalytic acceptorless dehydrogenation (CAD). The combined use of the acridinium amidate with a cobaloxime complex and a protic additive as a catalyst system enables the CAD of hydrocarbons to proceed with high efficiency under mild reaction conditions.
