The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of radical generation strategies and their applications in C-C bond-forming reactions. Most these processes require initiators, transition metal catalysts, or organometallic reagents. Herein, we report discovery a simple organic system (2-azaallyl anions) that enables coupling reactions under transition-metal-free conditions. Deprotonation N-benzyl ketimines generates semistabilized 2-azaallyl anions behave as "super-electron-donors" (SEDs)...
Abstract Benzofurans are among the most popular structural units in bioactive natural products, however, synthesis of such structures by radical cyclization cascade reactions is rare. Herein, we report a mild and broadly applicable method for construction complex benzofurylethylamine derivatives through unique mechanism. Single‐electron transfer (SET) from 2‐azaallyl anions to 2‐iodo aryl allenyl ethers initiates that followed intermolecular radical–radical coupling. This expedient approach...
Abstract Sarpagine-Ajmaline-Koumine type monoterpenoid indole alkaloids represent a fascinating class of natural products with polycyclic and cage-like structures, interesting biological activities, related biosynthetic origins. Herein we report unified approach towards the asymmetric synthesis these three types alkaloids, leading to collective 14 alkaloids. Among them, akuammidine, 19- Z -akuammidine, vincamedine, vincarine, quebrachidine, vincamajine, alstiphylianine J, dihydrokoumine are...
Nitrogen-centered radicals (NCRs) are valuable intermediates for the construction of C-N bonds. Traditional methods generation NCRs employ toxic radical initiators, transition metal catalysts, photocatalysts, or organometallic reagents. Herein, we report a novel strategy toward bonds under transition-metal-free conditions. Thus, super-electron-donor (SED) 2-azaallyl anions undergo single-electron transfer (SET) with sulfonamides, forming aminyl (R
Abstract Teucrifarides A–D ( 1 – 4 ), four previously unreported neo -clerodane-type diterpenoids, combined with sixteen known analogs (5–20), were purified from Teucrium quadrifarium. The absolute forma of compounds determined via spectroscopic and ECD calculation methods, together X-ray crystallography experiments. Among them, compound possessed a 5,20-epoxy ring featuring unique cage-like 12-oxatricyclo [5.3.2.0 1,6 ]undecane skeleton. Meanwhile, 2 incorporated 6,20-epoxy novel [6.2.2.0...

Abstract Outlined herein is a novel and scalable synthesis of (−)‐vindorosine based on two key transformations. A highly diastereoselective vinylogous Mannich addition dioxinone‐derived lithium dienolates with indolyl N ‐tert‐butanesulfinyl imines has been developed. In addition, an intramolecular Heathcock/aza‐Prins cyclization was introduced to construct both the C, substituted E rings for related alkaloids.

Enantiomerically pure alkylamines are pivotal structural elements in a broad range of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, natural products, and chemical building blocks. The development useful methodologies for the preparation these alkyamines is one central long-standing challenges facing synthetic chemistry.
