In this work, we present a photoredox three-component reaction that enables the synthesis of medicinally relevant β-trifluoromethyl β-amino ketones from a -trifluoroethylhydroxylamine derivative, styrenes and DMSO. Remarkably, fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl and pentafluoroethyl analogues are also accessed using the same reaction conditions. The mechanistic investigations, including radical trapping experiments, cyclic voltammetry, Stern-Volmer quenching studies and isotope labelling experiments support the photoinduced radical/polar crossover and Kornblum-type oxidation mechanisms.

The Petasis reaction has introduced significant advancements through the use of various catalysts, solvents, methodologies, and substrates in diverse areas of chemistry, including medicinal, organic, combinatorial, biochemical, and heterocyclic chemistry. It is a prominent method for synthesizing compounds such as α-amino acids, β-amino alcohols, Aza-beta-lactams, alkylaminophenols, α-arylglycines, 2H-chromenes, aminophenols, and hydrazide alcohols. With the increasing demand for medicines, drugs, industrial products, insecticides, and pesticides, the Petasis reaction has become an indispensable and versatile tool.

Aspartate ammonia lyases catalyze the reversible amination of fumarate to l-aspartate. Recent studies demonstrate that the thermostable enzyme from sp. YM55-1 (AspB) can be engineered for the enantioselective production of substituted β-amino acids.

ConspectusThe Mannich reaction, involving the nucleophilic addition of an enol(ate) intermediate to an imine or iminium ion, is one of the most widely used synthetic methods for the synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds. Nevertheless, the homo-Mannich reaction, which utilizes a homoenolate intermediate as the nucleophilic partner and provides straightforward access to the valuable γ-amino carbonyl compounds, remains underexplored. This can be largely attributed to the difficulties in generation and manipulation of the homoenolate species, despite various homoenolate equivalents that have been developed.

As the only naturally occurring β-amino acid, β-alanine has important application prospects in many fields. Driven by the huge demand, biosynthesis is becoming more and more popular as a potential alternative to the chemical synthesis of β-alanine. Although the direct pathway from L-aspartic acid to β-alanine, catalyzed by L-aspartic acid-α-decarboxylase (PanD), is ideal for β-alanine synthesis, it is hindered by the high cost of the substrate and limited economic viability.
