Photocatalytic Decarboxylative Minisci Reaction Catalyzed by Palladium-Loaded Gallium Nitride.

ABSTRACT: The decarboxylative Minisci reaction is a versatile tool for the direct C-H alkylation of heteroarenes, where stoichiometric amounts of oxidants or expensive, precious metal reagents are commonly used. Herein, we reported a photodriven decarboxylative Minisci reaction enabled by a gallium nitride-based heterogeneous photocatalyst under mild conditions. This method can be effectively applied to a broad substrate scope of acids, including primary, secondary, and tertiary carboxylic acids and N-heteroarenes effectively. The practicability and robustness of the approach are demonstrated for the functionalization of biologically active compounds.
