- A metal-free picolinamide assisted electrochemical ortho-trifluoromethylation of arylamines
-
An eco-friendly and effective electrochemical process was developed for the ortho-trifluoromethylation of arylamines using CF3SO2Na as the trifluoromethyl source, affording the desired products in moderate to good yields with high regioselectivity under mild reaction conditions. Importantly, the requirement for both transition metals and oxidants utilized in previous methods were avoided. A radical mechanism was proposed on the basis of various control experiments.

- Iron-catalyzed: Ortho trifluoromethylation of anilines via picolinamide assisted photoinduced C-H functionalization
-
A convenient, oxidant-free protocol was developed for the ortho trifluoromethylation of aniline via picolinamide assisted Fe-promoted C-H functionalization under ultraviolet irradiation. In this transformation acetone essentially acted as both a solvent to dissolve reactants and a low-cost radical initiator to efficiently generate a CF3 radical from Langlois' reagent. A broad substrate scope was tolerated and picolinamide bearing strong electron withdrawing groups also could be transformed into the corresponding products with acceptable yields. Furthermore, the value of this method has been highlighted via the efficient synthesis of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug floctafenine.

- Copper-Catalyzed Electrochemical C-H Amination of Arenes with Secondary Amines
-
Electrochemical oxidation represents an environmentally friendly solution to conventional methods that require caustic stoichiometric chemical oxidants. However, C-H functionalizations merging transition-metal catalysis and electrochemical techniques are, to date, largely confined to the use of precious metals and divided cells. Herein, we report the first examples of copper-catalyzed electrochemical C-H aminations of arenes at room temperature using undivided electrochemical cells, thereby providing a practical solution for the construction of arylamines. The use of n-Bu4NI as a redox mediator is crucial for this transformation. On the basis of mechanistic studies including kinetic profiles, isotope effects, cyclic voltammetric analyses, and radical inhibition experiments, the reaction appears to proceed via a single-electron-transfer (SET) process, and a high valent Cu(III) species is likely involved. These findings provide a new avenue for transition-metal-catalyzed electrochemical C-H functionalization reactions using redox mediators.

- Copper-catalyzed carboxamide-directed ortho amination of anilines with alkylamines at room temperature
-
In this report, a highly efficient method for the room temperature installation of alkyl amino motifs onto the ortho position of anilines via Cu-catalyzed carboxamide-directed amination with alkylamines is described. This method offers a practical solution for the rapid synthesis of complex arylamines from simple starting materials and enables new planning strategies for the construction of arylamine-containing pharmacophores. A single electron transfer (SET)-mediated mechanism is proposed.
