In my thesis, I performed photoredox-catalyzed C-H arylations of 1-cyano-4-oxo-4H-
quinolizine-3-diazonium tetrafluoroborate (1) with N-Boc-L-phenylalanine methyl ester
(2), N-Boc-L-tyrosine methyl ester (3), N-Boc-L-histidine methyl ester (4) and N-Boc-L-
tryptophan methyl ester (5) using the disodium salt of eosin Y as the photocatalyst. The
reactions were carried out at room temperature and under green light irradiation. All
reactions yielded the expected regioisomers of the arylation products, while the reaction
with histidine 4 also yielded azo adducts 4c,d. The obtained products were partially
separated by flash column chromatography and characterized by 1H and 13C spectroscopy
and HRMS analysis.
