氮杂芳基酮化合物是一类重要的合成中间体, 其骨架结构广泛存在于天然产物、药物分子和材料中. 通过酮酸脱羧自由基酰基化反应构建氮杂环, 是合成氮杂芳基酮类化合物的有效策略. 然而, 已报道的合成方法一般都需要过渡金属催化剂、大量的化学氧化剂和光敏剂等, 限制了它们的工业应用. 在此, 报道一种绿色且实用的策略来合成此类化合物. 对氮杂芳烃与α-酮酸的混合物进行蓝光照射, 可以高产率、高选择性且可大规模地合成相应的酰基化N-杂芳烃. 该体系不需要任何光敏剂、催化剂、氧化剂或溶剂. 此外, 值得注意的是, 该体系甚至不需要持续的蓝光照射, 只需要光引发就足以促进这一过程.

The N-heteroaryl ketones are an important class of synthetic intermediates, and their skeletal structures are widely found in natural products, drug molecules, and materials. Acylation of N-heterocycles by keto acid decarboxylation is an effective strategy for constructing N-heteroaryl ketone compounds. However, the reported synthesis methods generally require transition-metal catalysts, a large amount of chemical oxidants, photosensitizers, etc., which limits their industrial applications. Herein, a green and practical strategy for synthesizing such compounds was reported. Blue light irradiation of the mixture of N-heteroaromatics and α-ketoacids can lead to high-yield, high selectivity, and large-scale synthesis of the corresponding acylated N-heteroarenes. This system does not require any photosensitizers, catalysts, oxidants, or solvents. In addition, it is worth noting that this system does not even require continuous blue light irradiation, only light triggering is sufficient to promote this process.
