A catalyst-free, stereoselective visible-light-driven annulation reaction between alkenes and <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-substituted dialkyl anilines for the synthesis of substituted tetrahydroquinolines is presented. The reaction is driven by the photoexcitation of an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex, and the resulting products are obtained in good to high yields with complete diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic rationale and photochemical characterization of the EDA-complex are provided. ...[more]
