Abstract: Proton transfer processes mediate many organic reactions. How to realizestereochemical control of this process has always been a challenging topic inthe field of asymmetric catalysis. In this study, N-(diphenyl-methyl)-1-phenylethan-1-imine (Schiff base derivedfrom 2,2-diphenylethan-1-amine and acetophenone) was used as substrate, anddifferent near neutral solvents and various chiral metal complex catalysts wereused to carry out photoinduced C=N double bond transfer in the substrate underirradiation with a mercury ultraviolet lamp. The double bond transfer in thesubstrate molecule was highly selective. Solvents containing strongelectronegative atoms like oxygen and chlorine, such as alcohols, aldehydes, andcarbon tetrachloride, were more effective than other solvents under high lightintensity. The 1,3-proton transfer process involves photo-excitation of theSchiff base and coordination of the latter to the central metal atom of thechiral catalyst, so that the substrate molecule is placed in a stable chiralenvironment to form a transition state. The strongly electro-negative atom ofthe near-neutral solvent attracts the active α-hydrogen from the excited Schiffbase molecule to form a negatively charged delocalized π-bond structure. Thesubsequent proton addition yields more stable molec-ular structure to completethe selective proton transfer process. Among the examined chiral catalysts,divalent tin porphyrin was the most effective, and the product yield andenantiomeric excess were 98% and 91.49%, respectively. The describedphotoinduced C=N double bond transfer in N-(diphenylmethyl)-1-phenyl-ethan-1-imine is characterized by mildconditions (room temperature), high stereoselectivity, and simpleoperation.
Direct C(sp3)-N Radical Coupling: Photocatalytic C-H Functionalization by Unconventional Intermolecular Hydrogen Atom Transfer to Aryl Radical

An unconventional approach for intermolecular direct C(sp3)-N radical coupling has been developed by photocatalytic C(sp3)-H activation of simple alkyl substrates using O-benzoyl oximes. The selective photocatalytic energy-transfer-driven homolysis followed by decarboxylation generates the persistent iminyl radical and aryl radical, which would undergo an unprecedented intermolecular hydrogen atom abstraction from the alkyl substrate to provide the key C(sp3) radical. Selective radical-radical C-N cross-coupling furnishes imines which are valuable amine building blocks.

Aldehydes, ketones, alkyl toluene-p-sulfonates and halides are converted into the corresponding primary amines with benzhydrylamine as a valuable ammonia synthon in moderate to excellent yields.
