Photocatalyzed Amidoarylation of 1,3-Butadiene

Abstract

1,3-Butadiene is involved in a photocatalyzed amidoarylation reaction that allows the synthesis of N-allyl amides. The reaction was evaluated on a wide range of aryl diazonium salts and nitriles as co-reactants. Selectivity issues were studied from the help of a computational approach. (Figure presented.).
