Mild, Redox-Neutral Alkylation of Imines Enabled by an Organic Photocatalyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
An operationally simple, mild, redox-neutral method for the photoredox alkylation of imines is reported. Utilizing an inexpensive organic photoredox catalyst, alkyl radicals are readily generated from the single-electron oxidation of ammonium alkyl bis(catecholato)silicates and are subsequently engaged in a C-C bond-forming reaction with imines. The process is highly selective, metal-free, and does not require a large excess of the alkylating reagent or the use of acidic additives.

Enantioselective intramolecular hydroarylation of alkenes via directed C-H bond activation.
Highly enantioselective catalytic intramolecular ortho-alkylation of aromatic imines containing alkenyl groups tethered at the meta position relative to the imine directing group has been achieved using [RhCl(coe)2]2 and chiral phosphoramidite ligands. Cyclization of substrates containing 1,1- and 1,2-disubstituted as well as trisubstituted alkenes were achieved with enantioselectivities >90% e...
متن کاملStereo- and Regio-specificity in Organic Synthesis Promoted by Metal Ions
This paper examines regio-and stereo-specificity for reactions of coordinated organic substrates. The reactions involve addition of coordinated nucleophiles where the specificity arises from non-bonded interactions, substituent effects on the metal, orbital steering directed by the chelates and electronic effects imparted by the geometry required for chelation. The reactions examined include hy...

A photoredox-mediated Minisci C–H alkylation reaction of N-heteroarenes with alkyl boronic acids is reported. A broad range of primary and secondary alkyl groups can be efficiently incorporated into various N-heteroarenes using [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 as photocatalyst and acetoxybenziodoxole as oxidant under mild conditions. The reaction exhibits excellent substrate scope and functional group tolerance, ...
متن کاملPd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylations via C-H activation of N-allyl imines with glycinates.
Herein is reported the first example of palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) reactions involving 2-aza-π-allyl palladium intermediates. The 2-aza-π-allyl complex was generated via a novel mode of activation of N-allyl imines. Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)-H activation of N-allyl imines and subsequent nucleophilic attack by glycinates delivered vicinal diamino derivatives as the sole re...
