Опубликована: Март 14, 2022

The chemistry of nitrogen-centered radicals (NCRs) has plentiful applications in organic synthesis, and they continue to expand as our understanding these reactive species increases. utility intermediates is demonstrated the recent advances C–H amination (di)amination alkenes. Synthesis previously challenging structures can be achieved by efficient functionalization sp2 moieties without prefunctionalization, allowing for faster more streamlined synthesis. This Review addresses generation, reactivity, application NCRs, including, but not limited to, iminyl, aminyl, amidyl, aminium species. Contributions from early discovery up most examples have been highlighted, covering radical initiation, thermolysis, photolysis, and, recently, photoredox catalysis. Radical-mediated intermolecular (hetero)arenes occur with a variety complex amine precursors, generating aniline derivatives, an important class drug development. Functionalization olefins achievable high anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity allows access difunctionalized when intermediate carbon are trapped. Additionally, reactivity NCRs harnessed rapid construction N-heterocycles such pyrrolidines, phenanthridines, quinoxalines, quinazolinones.

Late-stage functionalization of C-H bonds (C-H LSF) can provide a straightforward approach to the efficient synthesis functionalized complex molecules. However, LSF is challenging because bond must be in presence various other functional groups. In this Perspective, we evaluate aromatic on basis four criteria─reactivity, chemoselectivity, site-selectivity, and substrate scope─and our own views current challenges as well promising strategies areas growth going forward.

The concept of strain in organic compounds is as old modern chemistry and was initially introduced to justify the synthetic setbacks along synthesis small ring systems (pars construens strain). In last decades, chemists have developed an arsenal strain-release reactions destruens strain) which can generate─with significant driving force─rigid aliphatic that act three-dimensional alternatives (hetero)arenes. Photocatalysis added additional dimension processes by leveraging energy photons create chemical complexity under mild conditions.

Abstract Site- and enantioselective cross-coupling of saturated N -heterocycles carboxylic acids—two the most abundant versatile functionalities—to form pharmaceutically relevant α-acylated amine derivatives remains a major challenge in organic synthesis. Here, we report general strategy for highly site- α-acylation with situ-activated acids. This modular approach exploits hydrogen-atom-transfer reactivity photocatalytically generated chlorine radicals combination asymmetric nickel catalysis to selectively functionalize cyclic α-amino C−H bonds presence benzylic, allylic, acyclic α-amino, α-oxy methylene groups. The mild scalable protocol requires no organometallic reagents, displays excellent chemo-, enantioselectivity, is amenable late-stage diversification, including synthesis previously inaccessible Taxol derivatives. Mechanistic studies highlight exceptional versatility chiral catalyst orchestrating (i) catalytic elimination, (ii) alkyl radical capture, (iii) cross-coupling, (iv) induction.
