Abstract

Visible light-mediated metallaphotoredox catalysis enables a highly chemoselective deoxygenation of N-heterocyclic N-oxides using Hantzsch esters as the stoichiometric reductants and only a tiny amount of the catalyst within a few minutes at room temperature. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups, such as carbamates, esters, ketones, nitrile groups, nitro groups, and halogens.
