Decarboxylative Photoaddition of 3-Butenoate Anion to 1-Methyl-2-phenyl-1-pyrrolinium Perchlorate via Electron-transfer Reaction

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.58.2711

The photolysis of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-1-pyrrolinium perchlorate (1) with a 3-butenoate anion in an aqueous solution efficiently gives a 2-allylpyrrolidine adduct.Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the photoreaction is induced by a one-electron transfer fr
