Visible-light Induced Cerium-catalyzed N-Demethylation of N-Methyl Amides under Air Conditions

摘要

A visible-light induced cerium-catalyzed N-demethylation of N-methyl amides under air atmosphere to the corresponding of N-demethylated amides is presented. Upon irradiation the excited states of [(CeCln)-Cl-IV](2-) are able to activate N-methyl amides. This reaction provides a methodology to cleave the C-N bond of amides under air conditions.
