Chart 1. Photocatalytic hydrodecarboxylation reaction scope.a Reactions conditions: 1a-g (0.2 mmol), Mes-Acr-Me (5 mol%), PhSH (10 mol%), NaHCO3 (10 mol%), toluene/H2O ((9 : 1), 2 mL), 7 W blue LEDs (∼450 nm), argon atmosphere, rt, 24 h.b Yields were determined by GC-FID using a calibration curve. Conversions were determined by GC-FID using a calibration curve.
