Visible-Light-Induced Dearomative Heteroarylation of Anthracene Derivatives with Heteroarylnitriles via Combined Energy Transfer and Electron Transfer.
The introduction of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, especially pyridine rings, into polycyclic compounds is expected to enhance their antimicrobial activities and modulate their fluorescence properties. A novel visible-light-induced dearomative heteroarylation of anthracenes with cyanoarenes has been developed. Combi...
