Abstract:A straightforward and efficient C(sp²)–H acylation of enamides with aldehydes via transition-metal free photoredox catalysis is demonstrated. The transformation proceeded smoothly without resorting to expensive and potentially toxic iridium or ruthenium polypyridyl based photocatalysts under mild conditions, furnishing a diverse range of synthetically crucial geometrically-definedβ-acylated enamides in a stereoselective and regioselective manner.
