Abstract
The mechanistic details of a reported allylation reaction are investigated by means of Stern–Volmer experiments and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Both reference substrates, i.e., an allylic chloride and a trifluoroacetamide, are inefficient quenchers but large quenching rate constants are observed upon the addition of Ni(COD)2 and a bisoxazoline ligand. The large quenching rate constants and absence of observable photoproducts are consistent with a mechanism that operates by energy transfer between the excited-state iridium photosensitizer and the nickel complex.
