The scope of aryl radical additions to the nitrogen of azomethines is described. Aryl, trifluoromethyl alkyl, and α,β-unsaturated ketimines engage in regioselective aryl-nitrogen bond formation via 5-exo cyclizations of an aryl radical to azomethine nitrogen. Selectivity for carbon-nitrogen over carbon-carbon bond formation is generally high (>95:5) and competes only with direct aryl radical reduction by stannane (0-10%). α-Ketoimines are a promising new class of carbon radical acceptors for which no competitive aryl radical reduction is observed. The reaction conditions are pH-neutral and are therefore among the mildest methods available for amination of an aromatic ring. The ketimines examined did not suffer from competitive reduction by stannane, offering an advantage over the use of diazo and azide functional groups as nitrogen sources for carbon radicals. The free radical-mediated aryl amination was sequenced with the O'Donnell phase transfer-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation strategy of glycinyl imine to provide either enantiomer of indoline α-amino acids with high ee. These new constrained phenyl alanine derivatives are now readily available for evaluation across a variety of applications.

Aryl radicals bearing an aldimino functional group as part of an ortho substituent cyclized by addition to C and/or N of the imino group.When the choice was between 5-exo closure to C and 6-endo closure to N, the former predominated.However, 6-endo closure to C predominated over 5-exo cyclization to N in isomeric imines.Absolute values of cyclization rate constants were determined and an explanation for the unusual 6-endo preference is offered.Chiral induction in 6-endo cyclization to C of an aldimine from D-glyceraldehyde acetonide was observed, and its sense was determined.

Aryl radicals cyclize to an imino functional group in a competition involving 6-endo closure to C and 5-exo closure to N. there is a large 6-endo preference forming tetrahydroisoquinolinyl radicals with k(6-endo) (80°C) > 108 s-1.
