Single-electron oxidation and α-deprotonation of tertiary anilines using Fe(phen)3(PF6)3 afford α-aminoalkyl radicals, which can be coupled with electrophilic partners to afford various tetrahydroquinolines. Mechanistically, the Fe(phen)n 2+/3+ catalytic cycle is maintained by O2 or a TBHP oxidant, and the presence of the oxygen bound iron complex, Fe(III)-OO(H), was elucidated by electron paramagnetic resonance and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. This redox-selective nonheme iron catalyst behaves similarly to bioinspired heme iron catalysts.

It is almost a consensus that decarbonylation of the aldehyde group (-CHO) needs to not only be mediated by transition metal catalysts, but also requires severe reaction conditions (high temperature and long reaction time). In this work, inspired by the “conformational-selectivity-based” design strategy, we broke this consensus and discovered a catalyst-free photodecarbonylation of the aldehyde group. It revealed that decarbonylation can be easily achieved with visible light irradiation by introducing a tertiary amine into theortho-position of the aldehyde group. A diverse array of tertiary amines is tolerated by our photodecarbonylation under mild conditions. Furthermore, the (QM) computations of the mechanism and the experiments on well-designed special substrates revealed that our photodecarbonylation depends on the conformational specificity of the aldehyde group and tertiary amine, and occurs through an unusual [1,4]-H shift and a subsequent [1,3]-H shift.

Direct catalytic benzylation of amines with benzylic alcohols to give benzylamines has been newly developed by using palladium/phosphine-borane catalyst system. In this catalytic reaction, the linking between both phosphine and borane moieties in the ligand is very important. Hydroxy group of benzylic alcohols is activated by Lewis acidic borane to form a benzylpalladium intermediate which is attacked by amines to give benzylamine products.
