Catalytic, intermolecular hydroaminoalkylation (HAA) of styrenes provides a powerful disconnection for pharmacologically relevant γ-arylamines, but current methods cannot utilize unprotected primary alkylamines as feedstocks. Metal-catalyzed HAA protocols are also highly sensitive to α-substitution on the amine partner, and no catalytic solutions exist α-tertiary γ-arylamine synthesis via this approach. We report solution these problems using organophotoredox catalysis, enabling direct,...

Abstract The ubiquity of carboxylic acids as naturally derived or man-made chemical feedstocks has spurred the development powerful, decarboxylative C–C bond-forming transformations for organic synthesis. Carboxylic benefit not only from extensive commercial availability, but are stable surrogates organohalides organometallic reagents in transition-metal-catalysed cross-coupling. Open shell reactivity (or derivatives thereof) to furnish carbon-centred radicals is proving transformative...

We report a Chan–Lam coupling reaction of benzylic and allylic boronic esters with primary secondary anilines to form valuable alkyl amine products. Both tertiary can be used as partners, mono-alkylation the aniline occurring selectively. This is rare example transition-metal-mediated transformation alkylboron reagent. Initial investigation into mechanism suggests that transmetalation from B Cu occurs through single-electron, rather than two-electron process.

The oxidation of benzylic boronic esters directly to the ketone is reported. This mild Cu-catalyzed method uses an ambient atmosphere air as terminal oxidant and notably chemoselective. Oxidation C–B bond occurs selectively, even in presence unprotected alcohols. Initial investigation suggests reaction proceeds through alkylboron Cu transmetalation, peroxide formation, rearrangement give carbonyl.

Abstract With no currently available disease-modifying drugs, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia affecting over 47 million people worldwide. In light recent discoveries placing cellular prion protein (PrP C ) as a key player in amyloid β oligomer (Aβo)-induced neurodegeneration, we investigated whether neuroprotective potential nature-inspired flavonoids against Aβ-promoted toxicity would translate into ability to disrupt PrP -Aβo interactions. Hence, synthesized small...

Hydroaminoalkylation (HAA) of alkenes is one the most appealing methods for construction α-alkylated amines, and impressive advances in intermolecular HAA non-electrophilic have been made secondary tertiary alkylamine substrates. We recently developed a general catalytic solution with unprotected primary alkylamines using combination organophotoredox catalysis hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis. Our reaction couples electronically unbiased styrenes alkylamines. The cycle begins...

The Cu-catalysed coupling of arylboronic acids with amines, known as the Chan-Lam reaction, is used widely to prepare aryl amines. In contrast, alkyl variants this while highly desirable, are underdeveloped. Herein, we report a reaction benzylic boronic esters primary and secondary anilines form valuable amine products. Both tertiary can be partners, mono-alkylation aniline occurring selectively. This rare example transition metal-mediated transformation alkylboron reagent. method...
