Radical Addition to Corannulene Mediated by Visible-light-photoredox Catalysts
Functionalization of corannulene has been extensively studied, however, radical addition reactions toward corannulene have been unexplored to date. Herein, we report the photochemical addition reaction of amines to corannulene via radical intermediates using photoredox catalysts.
