Strategies for the direct C-H functionalization of amines are valuable as these compounds comprise a number of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and natural products. This work describes a novel method for the C-H functionalization of carbamate-protected secondary amines via α-carbamyl radicals generated using photoredox catalysis. The use of the highly oxidizing, organic acridinium photoredox catalyst allows for direct oxidation of carbamate-protected amines with high redox potentials to give the corresponding carbamyl cation radical. Following deprotonation, the resultant open-shell species can be intercepted by a variety of Michael acceptors to give elaborate α-functionalized secondary amines. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions without the requirement of exogenous redox mediators or substrate prefunctionalization. Additionally, we were able to showcase the utility of this methodology through the enantioselective synthesis of the indolizidine alkaloid, (+)-monomorine I.

Coordination of FeCl3 to the redox-active pyridine-aminophenol ligand NNOH2 in the presence of base and under aerobic conditions generates FeCl2(NNOISQ) (1), featuring high-spin FeIII and an NNOISQ radical ligand. The complex has an overall S = 2 spin state, as deduced from experimental and computational data. The ligand-centered radical couples antiferromagnetically with the Fe center. Readily available, well-defined, and air-stable 1 catalyzes the challenging intramolecular direct C(sp3)-H amination of unactivated organic azides to generate a range of saturated N-heterocycles with the highest turnover number (TON) (1 mol% of 1, 12 h, TON = 62; 0.1 mol% of 1, 7 days, TON = 620) reported to date. The catalyst is easily recycled without noticeable loss of catalytic activity. A detailed kinetic study for C(sp3)-H amination of 1-azido-4-phenylbutane (S1) revealed zero order in the azide substrate and first order in both the catalyst and Boc2O. A cationic iron complex, generated from the neutral precatalyst upon reaction with Boc2O, is proposed as the catalytically active species.
