Photoredox-Induced Functionalization of Alkenes for the Synthesis of Substituted Imidazolines and Oxazolidines

A one-pot, three-component
cascade reaction combining photoredox
catalyzed radical addition and formal [3 + 2] annulation was developed.
With this approach, highly concise syntheses of imidazoline and oxazolidine
derivatives have been achieved. The advantages of this transformation
are good to excellent yields, mild reaction conditions, operational
simplicity, and easy accessibility of raw materials.
