α-Alkylation of ketimines using visible light photoredox catalysis

A novel α-alkylation of N-diphenylphosphinoyl ketimines with α-bromocarbonyl compounds has been accomplished using visible light photoredox catalysis. The reaction proceeds under remarkably mild conditions: at 35 °C, in 20 hours, under blue light irradiation (1 W), in the presence of a tertiary amin...
