α-Chiral alkyl primary amines are virtually universal synthetic precursors for all other α-chiral N-containing compounds ubiquitous in biological, pharmaceutical, and material sciences. The enantioselective amination of common alkyl halides with ammonia is appealing for potential rapid access to α-chiral primary amines, but has hitherto remained rare due to the multifaceted difficulties in using ammonia and the underdeveloped C(sp3)-N coupling. Here we demonstrate sulfoximines as excellent ammonia surrogates for enantioconvergent radical C-N coupling with diverse racemic secondary alkyl halides (>60 examples) by copper catalysis under mild thermal conditions. The reaction efficiently provides highly enantioenrichedN-alkyl sulfoximines (up to 99% yield and >99% ee) featuring secondary benzyl, propargyl, α-carbonyl alkyl, and α-cyano alkyl stereocenters. In addition, we have converted the masked α-chiral primary amines thus obtained to various synthetic building blocks, ligands, and drugs possessing α-chiral N-functionalities, such as carbamate, carboxylamide, secondary and tertiary amine, and oxazoline, with commonly seen α-substitution patterns. These results shine light on the potential of enantioconvergent radical cross-coupling as a general chiral carbon-heteroatom formation strategy.

Herein, we report a highly regioselective gold-catalyzed formal hydration of propargylic gem-difluorides. Not only does this transformation provide access to versatile fluorinated building blocks that were difficult or hardly possible to access beforehand, but it also represents a rare case of a highly regioselective gold-catalyzed hydroalkoxylation of internal alkynes and puts forward the utility of the difluoromethylene unit as a directing group in catalysis.

An efficient preparation of γ-lactols and methylene-γ-lactols is described. Highly acid-sensitive lactols are prepared in a concise manner by using a radical cyclization of aluminum acetals. The precursors for the radical reactions are readily prepared fr
