Photoinduced Ligand-to-Metal Charge Transfer (LMCT) of Fe Alkoxide Enabled C–C Bond Cleavage and Amination of Unstrained Cyclic Alcohols

-BuONa] facilitate alkoxy radical formation via the direct ligand-to-metal charge transfer of Fe alkoxide and further enable the ring opening and amination of cyclic alcohols. The remote amino carbonyl compounds could be obtained with a broad scope in up to excellent yields under the mildly redox-neutral system. Light-driven electron transfer, alkoxy radical formation, and subsequent C-C bond cleavage via β-scission were the keys to the transformation.
