Selective 1,2-Aryl-Aminoalkylation of Alkenes Enabled by Metallaphotoredox Catalysis

摘要

A highly chemo- and regioselective intermolecular 1,2-aryl-aminoalkylation of alkenes by photoredox/nickel dual catalysis is described here. This three-component conjunctive cross-coupling is highlighted by its first application of primary alkyl radicals, which were not compatible in previous reports. The readily prepared alpha-silyl amines could be transferred to alpha-amino radicals by photo-induced single electron transfer step. The radical addition/cross-coupling cascade reaction proceeds under mild, base-free and redox-neutral conditions with good functional group tolerance, and importantly, provides an efficient and concise method for the synthesis of structurally valuable alpha-aryl substituted gamma-amino acid derivatives motifs.
