A Mechanistic Perspective on Photocatalytic EnT-Enabled C3-N-Heteroarylation of Aryl Quinoxaline via C(sp²)–C(sp²) Coupling

Organic Letters, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 11, 2025

An EnT-mediated C3-N-heteroarylation of 2-aryl quinoxalines via decarboxylative radical-radical cross-coupling (C(sp2)-C(sp2)) with oxime esters is presented. Upon photoactivation, the triplet energy photocatalyst transferred to both reacting partners (oxime ester and 2-phenylquinoxaline). The excited undergoes fragmentation a C-centered N-heteroaryl radical an N-centered imine radical. former attacks C3 site quinoxaline diradical, while latter acts as hydrogen atom abstractor (HAA). Computational studies revealed that C-C bond formation heteroaryl energetically more favorable than C-N formation.
