Outline of Final Research Achievements

The generation of carbocation has required the use of strong acids, which lowered functional group compatibility and limited the application to synthesis of pharmaceutical drugs. In this research, a new approach to catalytic generation of carbocation from carboxylic acid derivatives and alkenes by a visible light-mediated organophotoredox catalysis has been provided. In our protocols, single electron transfer by a photoredox catalyst was utilized for carbocation generation. This strong acid-free protocol could be applied to functionalization of pharmaceutical drugs and natural products.
