Photocatalytic Hydroalkylation of Aryl-Alkenes.

ABSTRACT: Here, we present a visible light-catalyzed hydroalkylation of aryl-alkenes affording C-C bonds using aryl-alkenes and alkyl iodides. We demonstrate the formation of various hydroalkylation products in excellent yields, with primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl iodides being tolerated in the reaction. Mechanistic experiments reveal a pathway consisting of halogen atom transfer followed by a radical-polar crossover mechanism delivering the desired hydroalkylation products.
