An environmentally benign and metal-free cyanation method of tertiary amines oxidated by hypervalent iodine(III) intermediate generated in situ from PIFA (or DIB) and TMSCN has been developed. A variety of substituent groups on amines are tolerated to the oxidation of α-C-H bond to form C-C bond in the absence of metal catalysts with yields of up to 74%.

In the presence of onium salts, at 140-170 °C. methyl alkyl carbonates [1a-c, ROCO2Me, R = MeO(CH2)2[O(CH 2)2]n; n = 2-0, respectively] react with primary aromatic amines (XC6H4NH2, X = p-OMe, p-Me, H, p-Cl, p-CO2Me, o-Et, and 2,3-Me2C 6H3NH2) to yield the corresponding N,N-dimethyl derivatives (ArNMe2) with high selectivity (up to 96%) and good isolated yields (78-95%). Phosphonium salts (e.g., Ph3PEtI and n-Bu4PBr) are particularly efficient catalysts. Overall, a solvent-free reaction is coupled with safe methylating agents (1a-c) made from nontoxic dimethyl carbonate.
Diastereoselective tandem addition-cyclization reactions of unsaturated tertiary amines initiated by photochemical electron transfer (PET)

Polycyclic molecules and tetrahydroquinoleines were obtained in a tandem reaction involving the diastereoselective addition of α-aminoalkyl radicals to (5R)-5-menthyloxy-2[5H]-furanone 1. The facial diastereoselectivity on 1 is ≥90%. The α-aminoalkyl radicals were produced from tertiary amines by photochemical-induced electron transfer. When N, N-dialkylanilines 19 were used as starting tertiary amines, a rearomatization step was involved and important side reactions of 1 were observed. A mechanistic study involving isotopic labeling of the starting amine indicated that the byproducts resulted from reduction of I during the rearomatization process. An efficient optimization of the reaction was obtained by simply adding acetone or cyclopentanone as mild oxidants to the reaction mixture. The side products resulting from reduction of the furanone 1 were completely suppressed under these conditions, and the yields of the tetrahydroquinolines 21ai, 22a-f, and 26g-i were doubled.
