The Photocatalyzed Aza-Henry Reaction of N-Aryltetrahydroisoquinolines: Comprehensive Mechanism, H?- versus H+-Abstraction, and Background Reactions

The cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction of N-aryltetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQ) is one of the most exploited photocatalytic transformation and a test reaction for an exceptional variety of catalysts. However, its mechanism remained unclear conce

CuBr-catalyzed direct indolation of tetrahydroisoquinolines via cross-dehydrogenative coupling between sp3 C-H and sp2 C-H bonds

A novel and efficient C-C bond formation method was developed via the cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction of indoles and tetrahydroisoquinolines catalyzed by copper bromide in the presence of an oxidizing reagent, tert-BuOOH. The CDC reaction provides a simple and efficient catalytic method to construct indolyl tetrahydroisoquinolines via a combination of sp3 C-H bond and sp2 C-H bond followed by C-C bond formation.

Direct Near Infrared Light–Activatable Phthalocyanine Catalysts

The high penetration of near-infrared (NIR) light makes it effective for use in selective reactions under light-shielded conditions, such as in sealed reactors and deep tissues. Herein, we report the development of phthalocyanine catalysts directly activa

Molecular Oxygen-Mediated Radical Alkylation of C(sp3)-H Bonds with Boronic Acids

A direct and site-specific alkylation of (sp3)C-H bond with aliphatic boronic acid was achieved. By simply heating glycinates and amines together with alkylboronic acids under an oxygen atmosphere, a variety of unnatural α-amino acids and peptides could b

Tunable Redox Potential Photocatalyst: Aggregates of 2,3-Dicyanopyrazino Phenanthrene Derivatives for the Visible-Light-Induced α-Allylation of Amines

This work highlights the tunable redox potential of 6,11-dibromo-2,3-dicyanopyrazinophenanthrene (DCPP3) aggregates, which can be formed through physical π-πstacking interactions with other DCPP3 monomers. Electrochemical and scanning electron microscopy showed that the reduction potential of [DCPP3]n aggregates could be increased by decreasing their size. The size of [DCPP3]n aggregates could be regulated by controlling the concentration of DCPP3 in an organic solvent. As such, a fundamental understanding of this tunable redox potential is essential for developing new materials for photocatalytic applications. The [DCPP3]n aggregates as a visible-light photocatalyst in combination with Pd catalysts in the visible-light-induced α-allylation of amines were used. This [DCPP3]n photocatalyst exhibits excellent photo- and electrochemical properties, including a remarkable visible-light absorption, long excited-state lifetime (16.6 μs), good triplet quantum yield (0.538), and high reduction potential (Ered([DCPP3]n/[DCPP3]n-) > -1.8 V vs SCE).

Solvent-driven C(sp3)-H thiocarbonylation of benzylamine derivatives under catalyst-free conditions

Due to the particularity of the thiocarbonyl group (C S bond), only limited C(sp3)-H thiocarbonylation methods, especially efficient and convenient methods, have been developed for the synthesis of thioamides. Inspired by the “solvent-specifici

Nickel-Catalyzed Amination of Aryl Chlorides with Amides

A nickel-catalyzed amination of aryl chlorides with diverse amides via C-N bond cleavage has been realized under mild conditions. A broad substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance at a low catalyst loading makes the protocol powerful for synthesizing various aromatic amines. The aryl chlorides could selectively couple to the amino fragments rather than the carbonyl moieties of amides. Our protocol complements the conventional amination of aryl chlorides and expands the usage of inactive amides.

Direct Arylation of Distal and Proximal C(sp3)-H Bonds of t-Amines with Aryl Diazonium Tetrafluoroborates via Photoredox Catalysis

A visible light-mediated arylation protocol for t-amines has been reported through the coupling of γ- and α-amino alkyl radicals with different aryl diazonium salts using Ru(bpy)3Cl2·6H2O as a photocatalyst. Structurally different 9-aryl-9,10-dihydroacridine, 1-aryl tetrahydroisoquinoline, hexahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline, and hexahydro-2H-pyrido[2,1-a]isoquinoline frameworks with different substitution patterns have been synthesized in good yield using this methodology.

Effect of Precatalyst Oxidation State in C-N Cross-Couplings with 2-Phosphinoimidazole-Derived Bimetallic Pd(I) and Pd(II) Complexes

We report the catalytic activity of two phosphinoimidazole-derived bimetallic palladium complexes in Pd-catalyzed amination reactions. Our studies demonstrate that the starting oxidation state (Pd(I) or Pd(II)) of the dimeric complex has a significant effect on the efficiency of the catalytic reaction. The corresponding Pd(I) complex shows higher reactivity in Buchwald-Hartwig aminations, while the Pd(II) complex is much more reactive in carbonylative amination reactions. These new dimeric palladium complexes provide good to excellent reactivity and yields in the amination reactions tested.
