Abstract

A photoredox one-pot strategy for efficient accessing 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-ones from anilines, oxalyl chloride, and electron-deficient alkenes is disclosed. The new approach features excellent synthetic efficiency, readily available starting materials, and simple operations. It is compatible with a variety of anilines and electron-deficient alkenes. A broad array of 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-ones were prepared.

After stirring at the same temperature for 1 h, H2O (2 mL) was added to the mixture, followed by Ir[dF(CF3)ppy]2(dtbbpy)PF6 (2 mol%), K2CO3 (1.5 mmol, 5 equiv), and alkenes (0.9 mmol, 3.0 equiv). The vial was covered and bubbled with nitrogen for 5 min. After irradiated with 36 W blue LEDs for 36 h, the mixture was then diluted with EtOAc (40 mL) and H2O (5 mL), and the organic layer was recovered, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtrated, concentrated under reduced pressure, and purified with column chromatography to afford 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-ones 8at.
