Abstract
A red-light-mediated [3+2] annulation of cyclopropylamines with akenes or alkynes in the presence of N ,N ′-dipropyl-1,13-dimethoxyquinacridinium is reported. An array of cyclopentane or cyclopentene derivatives with diverse functional groups have been obtained in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions.

Red-Light-Induced n Pr-DMQA+ -Catalyzed [3+2] Cycloaddition of N -Cyclopropylanilines 1 with Alkenes 2; General Procedure
In a N2 glove box, an oven-dried (overnight) Schlenk tube containing a stirring bar was charged with the appropriate substrate 1 (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and alkene 2 (1.0 mmol, 1.2 equiv). This was followed by the addition of [n Pr-DMQA+ ][BF4
– ] (1.0 mg, 0.002 mmol, 1.0 mol%) in degassed MeNO2 (1 mL), transferred from a stock solution of the catalyst (10.0 mg) in degassed MeNO2 (10 mL). The Schlenk tube was then sealed and removed from the glove box, and the solution was stirred at rt under red LED (λmax = 640 nm) irradiation until the reaction was complete. The mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator, and the crude product was purified by flash chromatography (FC) [silica gel, hexanes–Et2 O or EtOAc (200:1 to 6:1)].
