Energy Transfer-Mediated Carboamination of Alkenes to Access γ-Amino-1,3-dicarbonyl Scaffolds

Abstract A visible light-induced, energy transfer-mediated strategy for the carboamination of alkenes was developed using a rationally designed enyl oxime ester-based bifunctional reagent, enabling the efficient construction of structurally diverse γ-amino-1,3-dicarbonyl compound...

Visible-Light-Mediated Tandem Heck-Type Arylation/[4+2] Electrocyclization Process to Access 9,10-Dihydronaphthalene

Abstract Given their biological and synthetic importance, the construction of 9,10-dihydronaphthalene scaffolds is a pivotal transformation in organic synthesis, serving as a gateway to various bioactive natural products and functional materials. Herein, we develop a visible-ligh...

Photocatalytic Synthesis of Medium-Sized Lactams via Cascade Ring Expansion Reaction of Unstrained Cyclic Amines with NHC-Borane

Abstract Medium-ring lactams are important structural motifs in many scientific fields but are difficult to synthesize due to unfavorable entropic/enthalpic effects and transannular interactions. Herein, an efficient strategy for accessing highly functionalized borylated 9- to 11...
