Photochemical α-amination of carbonyl groups with iodinanes

Abstract

We report on a photochemical reaction of silyl enol ethers with iminoiodinanes. This aza Rubottom reaction provides a direct access towards α-amino carbonyl compounds under catalyst free reaction conditions with light as the sole source of energy. Control experiments suggest the participation of triplet nitrene intermediates.
