Abstract

Irradiation of 1 -aryl-2,2-dicyanoethenes and tetraalkylstannanes in propionitrile in the presence of phenanthrene afforded regioselectively 1 -al kyl-1 -aryl-2,2-dicyanoethanes in good yields. ... Recently, much attention has been focused on the photoalkyl- ation and arylmethylation of electron-deficient unsaturated compounds by use of allylic and arylmethylsilanes via photo- induced electron transfer. 1-4 However, little is known about the photoalkylation of ...
