The synthesis of amines through N-alkylation is particularly attractive. Herein, a strategy for visible-light-induced N-alkylation of anilines with 4-hydroxybutan-2-one was developed in the presence of NH₄Br, which avoid the use of metals, bases and ligands. In addition, gram-scale experiments proved that the system has the potential to be scaled.

可见光诱导 4-羟基丁烷-2-酮对苯胺进行 N-烷基化

通过N-烷基化合成胺特别有吸引力。在此，开发了在NH ₄ Br存在下可见光诱导苯胺与4-羟基丁-2-酮的N-烷基化的策略，该策略避免使用金属、碱和配体。此外，克级实验证明该系统具有规模化的潜力。
