Variation of Alkyl Halides on Visible-Light Photoredox Olefination

Reaction conditions: Ar atmosphere and irradiation of visible light with 23-W CFL, Ru(bpy)₃Cl₂⋅6H₂O (A) (5.0 μmol) or Ir(ppy)₂dtbbpyPF₆ (C) (10 μmol), alkyl bromide (1) (1.5 mmol), aldehyde (2) (1.0 mmol), triphenylphosphine (PPh₃) (1.5 mmol), K₂CO₃ (1.5 mmol), DMF (2.0 mL), temperature (room temperature [rt] ∼25°C), time 3–12 hr, in a sealed Schlenk tube. Isolated yield. E/Z ratios were determined by ¹H nulcear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. See Transparent Methods for experimental details.
