Abstract
In nature, the unmasking of heterocyclic quinones to form stabilized quinone methide radicals is achieved using reductases (bioreduction). Herein, an alternative controllable room-temperature, visible-light activated protocol using alkoxyamines and bis-alkoxyamines is provided. Selective synthetic modification of the bis-alkoxyamine, allowed chromophore deactivation to give one labile alkoxyamine moiety.
