Azarenes are essential structural motifs found in an array of pharmaceuticals,agrochemicals and natural products.This explains why synthetic methods that facilitate the construction of structurally complex pyridine-containing molecules are highly sought after.Although the direct functionalisation of the heterocyclic ring continues to be the main approach,synthetic strategies that feature functionalisation at a remote position have also garnered attention.In particular,alkenylpyridines have long been known as good Michael acceptors.The synthesis of functionalized azarenes through the additive reaction of alkenylpyridines will also be a synthetic strategy with theimportant theory significance and the strong application value.Based on the advantages of photoredox reaction and the research interest of our group in H-bonding organocatalysis,visible light-driven photoredox catalysis and cooperative photoredox and asymmetric catalysis on asymmetric hydrogen bonding organic catalysis.We adopt self-development dicyanopyrazine derivatives DPZ as a photosensitizer and Br?nsted acid as a chiral catalyst to complete the study of the free radicals asymmetric conjugate addition between N-arylglycine and alkenylpyridines. |
