A metal-free α-aminomethylation of heteroaryls promoted by eosin Y under green light irradiation is reported. A large variety of α-trimethylsilylamines as precursor of α-aminomethyl radical species were engaged to functionalize sulfonyl-heteroaryls following a Homolytic Aromatic Substitution (HAS) pathway. This method has provided a range of α-aminoheteroaryl compounds including a functionalized natural product. The mechanism of this late-stage functionalization of aryls was investigated and suggests the formation of a sulfonyl radical intermediate over a reductive quenching cycle.

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 α-silyl amines could be transferred to α-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 α-aryl substituted γ-amino acid derivatives motifs.

Selective cleavage of a silicon–carbon bond in tetraorganosilanes is still a great challenge. A new type of Si?C(sp3) bond cleavage in bench-stable (aminomethyl)silanes with common organolithium reagents as nucleophiles has now been identified. Suitable leaving groups are benzyl, allyl, and phenylthiomethyl groups. A β-donor function and polar solvents are essential for the reaction. Simple switching between α-deprotonation and substitution is possible through slight modifications of the reaction conditions. The stereochemical course of the reaction was elucidated by using a silicon-chiral benzylsilane. The new transformation proceeds stereospecifically with inversion of configuration and can be used for the targeted synthesis of enantiomerically pure tetraorganosilanes, which are otherwise difficult to access. Quantum chemical calculations provided insight into the mechanism of the new substitution.
