We disclose a visible-light-promoted aerobic alkylation of activated C(sp 3)-H bonds using pyrenedione (PYD) as the photocatalyst. Direct C-H bond alkylation of tetrahydrofuran with alkylidenemalononitriles is accomplished in over 90% yield in the presence of 5 mol% of PYD and 18 W blue LED light under ambient conditions. The substrate scope is extended to ethers, thioethers, and allylic C-H bonds in reactions with various electrophilic Michael acceptors. The catalytic turnover process is facilitated by oxygen. Our work represents the first example of using PYD as a photocatalyst to promote C(sp 3)-H alkylation, revealing the unique character of PYD as a novel organophotocatalyst.

Absolute rate constants (k) for reduction of substituted methylperoxyl radicals by ascorbate ions and by TMPD (N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine) in aqueous solutions have been determined by pulse radiolysis.The rate constants vary from 1E6 to 1E9 M-1 s-1, increasing as the electron-withdraving capacity of the substituent on the peroxyl group increases.Linear correlations are observed between log k and the Taft substituents ?* for a wide variety of substituents, but not all substituents fit the same line.In the case of ascorbate as reductant, the points for peroxyl radicals that contain halogens on the α-carbon lie on a different line (ρ*=0.41) than that for the other substituents (ρ*=1.25).In the case of TMPD there are alsotwo families of peroxyl radicals: Those comprimising the electron-donating groups Me through t-Bu (ρ=5.6) and those containing electron-withdrawing substituents (ρ*=0.64).
