Copper acetate-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization amination of quinoline N-oxides was achieved using O-benzoyl hydroxylamine as an electrophilic amination reagent, thereby affording the desired products in moderate to excellent yields. Electrophilic amination can also be performed in good yield on a gram scale.

In view of the high propensity of tertiary alkyl amines to be bioactive, the development of new methods for their synthesis is an important challenge. Transition-metal catalysis has the potential to greatly expand the scope of nucleophilic substitution reactions of alkyl electrophiles; unfortunately, in the case of alkyl amines as nucleophiles, only one success has been described so far: the selective mono-alkylation of primary amines to form secondary amines. Here, using photoinduced copper catalysis, we report the synthesis of tertiary alkyl amines from secondary amines and unactivated alkyl electrophiles, two readily available coupling partners.

Here, we demonstrated a copper(II)-catalyzed enantioselective addition of aryl amines to isatin-derived -Boc-ketimines using chiral O-N-N tridentate ligands derived from BINOL and proline. Generally, the chiral acyclic ,'-ketals were obtained in high yields (up to 98%) and excellent ee values (up to 98%). Various aryl amines could be tolerated and a gram-scale reaction was also possible.

A photoredox-catalyzed aminolactonization of unsaturated carboxylic acids was achieved using -aminopyridinium salts as the amino radical precursor. The transformation features mild conditions and a remarkably broad substrate scope, offering an efficient approach to construct a wide range of 4-sulfonamino 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction proceeds via a distinctive -aminopyridinium salt-promoted electrophilic amination of 2-styrylbenzoic acids.

The reactivity of our recently disclosed hypervalent iodine reagents (HIRs) bearing a benzylamine with in situ-generated sulfenate salts was investigated. Under the studied conditions sulfonamides have been obtained in up to 52% yield. This reaction has been extended to a variety of HIRs and sulfenate salts to explore the different reactivity of these new reagents.

Enzyme promiscuity is the ability of an enzyme to catalyze an unexpected side reaction in addition to its main reaction. Here, we describe a biocatalytic process to produce non-hydrolyzable NAD+ analogs based on the ADP-ribosyltransferase (ART) activity of pertussis toxin PtxS1 subunit. First, in identical manner to normal catalysis, PtxS1 activates NAD+ to form the reactive oxocarbenium cation.
