- thiocyanate to generate 4-alkyl/aryl-2-aminothiazoles. Mechanistic experiments demonstrated that the photocatalyst formed in situ from Cu(OAc)2 and ammonium thiocyanate promoted the intermolecular cyclization (Scheme 7). 3.2 Difunctionalization of alkenes The 1,2-difunctionalization of alkenes is a versatile
- strategy for the construction of complex molecules. The primary process involved in the 1,2-difunctionalization of alkenes catalyzed by copper complexes is an atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA). Copper complexes or copper-based photoredox-active complexes formed in situ serve as photocatalysts to
