Abstract

The development of novel synthetic methods for quaternary ammonium salts is highly demanded since the current synthesis heavily relies on the conventional Menshutkin reaction. Herein, we report photoredox-catalyzed alkylation of α-brominated alkenylammonium salts. Mechanistically, the generation of a highly reactive α-ammoniovinyl radical is the key to our method. This reaction enables the synthesis of various unprecedented α-alkylated alkenylammonium salts.
