ArNMeCH(SiMe): a useful precursor of formal α-aminoalkyl diradicals in visible-light-mediated homo- and hetero-diaddition with alkenes

ArNMeCH(SiMe 3 ) 2 has been developed as a useful precursor of a formal α-aminoalkyl diradical in Ru(bpy) 3 Cl 2 -catalzyed addition with alkenes under visible-light-mediated photoredox conditions. This approach leads to homo-diaddition with two identical alkenes in one-pot, or hetero-diaddition with two different alkenes via a sequential operation.
