Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentylamines (BCPAs) are of growing importance to the pharmaceutical industry as sp3-rich bioisosteres of anilines and N-tert-butyl groups. Here we report a facile synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted BCPAs using a twofold radical functionalization strategy. Sulfonamidyl radicals, generated through fragmentation of α-iodoaziridines, undergo initial addition to [1.1.1]propellane to afford iodo-BCPAs; the newly formed C-I bond in these products is then functionalized via a silyl-mediated Giese reaction. This chemistry also translates smoothly to 1,3-disubstituted iodo-BCPs. A wide variety of radical acceptors and iodo-BCPAs are accommodated, providing straightforward access to an array of valuable aniline-like isosteres.

Atom transfer radical addition (ATRA), cyclization (ATRC), and polymerization (ATRP) are valuable synthetic methods for the functionalization of olefins. With the advent of photoredox catalysis, visible-light became a popular tool for the initiation of these reactions. We have developed a protocol that enables easy access to distally functionalized pyrrolidines employing blue-light mediated atom transfer radical [3+2] cyclization. The reaction is scalable, proceeds at very mild conditions. tolerates various functional groups, and provides the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. If rigid olefins are utilized as the reaction partners, the products can be isolated as single diastereomers. The mechanistic investigations provide strong support for an energy-transfer mechanism.
