Radical cyanomethylation via vinyl azide cascade-fragmentation

Herein, a novel methodology for radical cyanomethylation is described. The process is initiated by radical addition to the vinyl azide reagent 3-azido-2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol which triggers a cascade-fragmentation mechanism driven by the loss of dinitrogen and the stabilised 2-hydroxypropyl radical, ultimately effecting cyanomethylation. Cyanomethyl groups can be efficiently introduced into a range of substrates via trapping of α-carbonyl, heterobenzylic, alkyl, sulfonyl and aryl radicals, generated from a variety of functional groups under both photoredox catalysis and non-catalytic conditions. The value of this approach is exemplified by the late-stage cyanomethylation of pharmaceuticals.
