| Abstract | Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) decarboxylation of alkyl carboxylates in water leads to primary, secondary or tertiary carbon radicals which undergo C-C coupling reactions either in an intraor intermolecular fashion. Intramolecular coupling gives rise to heterocyclic ring systems (lactams, lactones, cyclopeptides, cyclic ethers, crown ethers) with ring sizes from 5 to 28 and a broad variety of functionalities. Intermolecular coupling gives Grignardtype adducts (but with different chemoand regioselectivities as for carbanion reactions). Yields of these reactions are mostly high, dilution conditions are not necessary, quantum yields are in the range of 0.5-0.6, and chemoas well as regioselectivities are excellent. The electron-accepting chromophores which have been investigated are the imides of phthalic, maleic, quinolinic and trimellitic acid. Selectivity can be further controlled by two simple tricks: Only triplet excited acceptors are active in these electron-transfer reactions, thus sensitization excludes other (homolytic) pathways; Donor groups (SR, NR 2, aryl, OR, C=C) other than the carboxylate can be activated by lowering the pH (and thus protonating the COO-donor). In intramolecular reactions, substrate concentration up to 0.1 M were applied successfully and the reactions were completed in 1012 h for multigram conversions. |
