A radical-mediated strategy for β C-H amination of alcohols has been developed. This approach employs a radical relay chaperone, which serves as a traceless director that facilitates selective C-H functionalization via 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and enables net incorporation of ammonia at the β carbon of alcohols. The chaperones presented herein enable direct access to imidate radicals, allowing their first use for H atom abstraction. A streamlined protocol enables rapid conversion of alcohols to their β-amino analogs (via in situ conversion of alcohols to imidates, directed C-H amination, and hydrolysis to NH2). Mechanistic experiments indicate HAT is rate-limiting, whereas intramolecular amination is product- and stereo-determining.

A Ni-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling with 1,1-disubstituted styrenyl aziridines has been developed. This method delivers valuable β-substituted phenethylamines via a challenging reductive elimination that affords a quaternary carbon. A novel electron-deficient olefin ligand, Fro-DO, proved crucial for achieving high rates and chemoselectivity for C-C bond formation over β-H elimination. This ligand is easy to access, is stable, and presents a modular framework for reaction discovery and optimization. We expect that these attributes, combined with the fact that the ligands impart distinct electronic properties to a metal, will support the invention of new transformations not previously possible using established ligands.

An effective and versatile method was developed to synthesize N-benzyloxycarbonyl-protected and free 2,2-disubstituted taurines. Several novel 2,2-disubstituted taurines, including aliphatic/aromatic and cyclic/acyclic derivatives, were obtained, which demonstrates the generality of this method. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
