Carbocations acridinium

The oxidative behaviour of the acridinium carbocations 61 was also explored by the group of Lacour in the photoinduced electron transfer reaction [160]. In the amount of 2 mol%, the achiral hindered acridinium salt 61 catalyzed the aerobic photooxidation of the primary benzylic amine to benzylimine in the yield of 74% (Scheme 63).
