Abstract

This article describes the use of dimethyl-aniline-alkyl halide charge transfer complexes as a linchpin for sunlight-initiated C–C bond formation with activated methylene compounds, including malonates, malononitriles, and 2-cyano-esters. DFT calculations shed light on charge transfer complex formation and structure as well as on the mechanism.
