Photocatalytic tandem reaction of primary alcohols with arylamines in the synthesis of amides and alkylquinolines in the presence of a heterogeneous Fe(CrO2)2–TiO2/X system under aerobic conditions

Abstract

A heterogeneous system Fe(CrO₂)₂–TiO₂/X (where X is promoter NiO, CuO, ZnO, Cr₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, PrOCl, TbOCl, LaOCl, or EuOCl) was prepared. The photocatalytic activity of the system was tested in the tandem reaction of primary alcohols (BnOH, EtOH) with arylamines aimed at synthesizing benzamides and substituted 2-methylquinolines under aerobic conditions at room temperature.
