Reaction conditions: 1a (0.15 mmol, 1 equiv), 2a (0.225 mmol, 1.5 equiv), photocatalyst (3 × 10–3 mmol, 2 mol%), Sc(OTf)3 and Bu4NCl (0.0225 mmol, 15 mol%), (S,S)-sBuPybox (0.03 mmol, 20 mol%), MeCN (3.0 mL, 0.05 M), 34 W blue LEDs. Yields determined by 1H NMR analysis of crude reaction mixtures using mesitylene as internal standard.
