Disclosed here is the use of an iron catalyst system for an intramolecular C?H amidation toward γ-lactam synthesis from dioxazolone precursors. (Phthalocyanine)FeIIICl was found to catalyze this cyclization with extremely high turnover numbers of up to 47 000 under mild and aerobic conditions. On the basis of experimental and computational mechanistic studies, the reaction is suggested to proceed by a stepwise radical pathway involving fast hydrogen atom abstraction followed by radical rebound. A plausible origin for the high turnover numbers along with air-compatibility is also rationalized.

Reported herein is the design of a photosensitization strategy to generate triplet nitrenes and its applicability for the intramolecular C-H amidation reactions. Substrate optimization by tuning physical organic parameters according to the proposed energy transfer pathway led us to identify hydroxamates as a convenient nitrene precursor. While more classical nitrene sources, representatively organic azides, were ineffective under the current photosensitization conditions, hydroxamates, which are readily available from alcohols or carboxylic acids, are highly efficient in accessing synthetically valuable 2-oxazolidinones and γ-lactams by visible light. Mechanism studies supported our working hypothesis that the energy transfer path is mainly operative.

Engineering site-selectivity is highly desirable especially in C-H functionalization reactions. We report a new catalyst platform that is highly selective for the amidation of benzylic C-H bonds controlled by π-πinteractions in the secondary coordination sphere. Mechanistic understanding of the previously developed iridium catalysts that showed poor regioselectivity gave rise to the recognition that the π-cloud of an aromatic fragment on the substrate can act as a formal directing group through an attractive noncovalent interaction with the bidentate ligand of the catalyst. On the basis of this mechanism-driven strategy, we developed a cationic (ν5-C5H5)Ru(II) catalyst with a neutral polypyridyl ligand to obtain record-setting benzylic selectivity in an intramolecular C-H lactamization in the presence of tertiary C-H bonds at the same distance. Experimental and computational techniques were integrated to identify the origin of this unprecedented benzylic selectivity, and robust linear free energy relationship between solvent polarity index and the measured site-selectivity was found to clearly corroborate that the solvophobic effect drives the selectivity. Generality of the reaction scope and applicability toward versatile γ-lactam synthesis were demonstrated.
