59. Compound 13 was completely recovered unchanged after the work-up, in quantitative yields. No formation of di-cyclohexyl products or other byproducts due to reactions of the cyclohexyl radical were observed. Using standard conditions and replacing photocatalyst 2 with 1, the corresponding product (14) was obtained in 46% yield. MacMillan reported the use of cyclohexylcarboxylic acid (13) in photocatalytic radical Michael addition using a similar acceptor: the corresponding product was obtained in 75% yield using DMF as solvent and a 34 W blue LED (see ref. 5)
