has been developed, which yields a series of α‐(2‐pyridinyl) benzyl amides/ketones.
Mechanistic studies, including electrochemical studies, radical‐trapping experiments, and
Stern–Volmer fluorescence quenching studies demonstrate that pyridine N‐oxide serves as
both a redox auxiliary and radical acceptor to achieve the mild photocatalytic single‐electron
oxidation of carbon–carbon triple bonds with the generation of a cationic vinyl radical …
