This thesis focuses on the synthesis of enaminones and their application in HATphotocatalyzed, nickel-mediated cross-coupling reactions with aryl bromides.
Enaminones are important synthetic intermediates due to their conjugated push–pull
structure, which imparts unique chemical properties. Enaminones were synthesized via
transamination of (E)-3-(dimethylamino)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one. The synthesized
enaminones were subsequently employed in cross-coupling reactions with various aryl
bromides. The reaction products were isolated and characterized by infrared spectroscopy
and nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H and ¹³C NMR) spectroscopy. Most reactions gave
good yields, and the structures of the synthesized products were successfully confirmed.
The results demonstrate that HAT photocatalysis combined with nickel catalysis
represents an efficient strategy for the formation of new C–C bonds from enaminones
under mild reaction conditions and enables the synthesis of functionalized organic
compounds.
