Reported herein is a modular, NiH-catalyzed system capable of proximal-selective hydroamination of unactivated alkenes with diverse amine sources. The key to the successful implementation of this approach is the promotion of NiH insertion into even highly substituted olefins via coordination of the bidentate directing group to the nickel complex. A wide range of primary and secondary amines can be installed in both internal and terminal unactivated alkenes with excellent regiocontrol under the optimized reaction conditions. This protocol is flexible and general for the preparation of a variety of valuable β- and γ-amino acid building blocks that would otherwise be difficult to synthesize. The utility of this transformation was further demonstrated by the site-selective late-stage modification of complex and medicinally relevant molecules. Combined experimental and computational studies illuminate the detailed reaction mechanism.

We report a catalytic, light-driven method for the intramolecular hydroetherification of unactivated alkenols to furnish cyclic ether products. These reactions occur under visible-light irradiation in the presence of an IrIII-based photoredox catalyst, a Br?nsted base catalyst, and a hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) co-catalyst. Reactive alkoxy radicals are proposed as key intermediates, generated by direct homolytic activation of alcohol O?H bonds through a proton-coupled electron-transfer mechanism. This method exhibits a broad substrate scope and high functional-group tolerance, and it accommodates a diverse range of alkene substitution patterns. Results demonstrating the extension of this catalytic system to carboetherification reactions are also presented.

Dirhodium(II) complexes and iodine(III) oxidants have found useful applications in synthetic nitrene chemistry. In this study, the combination of the dirhodium(II) complex Rh2(tpa)4 (tpa = triphenylacetate) with the iodine(III) oxidant PhI(OPiv)2 is shown to promote the epoxidation of alkenes in the presence of 2 equivalents of water. The reaction can be applied to diversely substituted alkenes and the corresponding epoxides are isolated with yields of up to 90 %. A possible mechanism involves the dirhodium(II) complex as a Lewis acid species that would tune the oxidizing character of the iodine(III) reagent.

A range of substituted Se-phenyl 5,9-dieneselenoates, viz. 15a, 25, 26, 27, 42 and 52, have been synthesised and their reactions with Bu3SnH-AIBN investigated.The diene esters 15a, 42 and 52 are shown to lead to decalone and to perhydrophenanthrone derivatives, viz. 19, 43 and 53, respectively, via consecutive 6-endo trig modes of cyclisations starting from the corresponding 5,9-diene acyl radical intermediates.By contrast, the 5,9-dienoates 25 and 27 lacking alkyl substitution at C-9 instead underwent cyclisation to the indanones 36 and 37, respectively, and the 6-methyl substituted analogue 26 produced only the cyclopentanone 38 on treatment with Bu3SnH-AIBN.
