A visible-light-mediated annulation of N-sulfonylallylamines and olefins is reported. Rapid access to highly functionalized chloromethylated pyrrolidines can be achieved using mild conditions for the generation of nitrogen-centered radicals. Both a transition-metal-based catalyst and an organic dye can be used as photosensitizers with 0.5 mol % loading. The reaction was found to be applicable to a large variety of electron-rich and electron-neutral olefins.

Visible Light-Mediated [4+2] Annulation of Silylimines with Olefins to 1-Aminotetralins Enabled by Diradical Hydrogen Atom Transfer of C-H Bonds.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

A facile photochemical, one-pot synthesis of highly functionalized 1-aminotetralins derivatives (>70 examples) from readily accessible o-alkyl and o-formyl aryl silylimines with olefins is described. A diradical-mediated hydrogen atom transfer (DHAT) of primary, secondary, and tertiary C(sp)-H bonds of o-alkyl arylsilylimines and C(sp)-H bonds of o-formyl arylsilylimines enabled a [4+2] annulation with olefins in excellent diastereoselectivity. This was accomplished upon irradiation at λ = 420 nm in the presence of thioxanthen-9-one (10 mol %) as the sensitizer via energy transfer.

A new visible-light-mediated non-directed oxidative annulation between 2-arylindazoles and electron-deficient olefins using commercially available piperidine-1-sulfonyl chloride as the radical precursor to afford fused 5,6-dihydroindazolo[2,3-]quinolines has been developed under mild reaction conditions. This transformation occurs two consecutive C-H bond functionalizations. The mechanistic investigation results indicate that the reaction progresses through a radical pathway forming a 2-(2-aryl-2-indazol-3-yl)-3-piperidin-1-ylsulfonyl derivative as an intermediate.

We present the first example of visible-light-mediated multicomponent annulation of 1,7-diynes by taking advantage of quadruple cleavage olf carbon-halogen bonds of BrCCl to generate a C1 synthon, which was adeptly applied to the preparation of skeletally diverse 3-benzoyl-quinolin-2(1)-one acetates in moderate to good yields. Controlled experiments demonstrated that HO acted as both oxygen and hydrogen sources, and -dichlorovinyl carbonyl compound exhibited as a critical intermediate in this process. The mechanistic pathway involves Kharasch-type addition/6-exo-dig cyclization/1,5-(SN")-substitution/elimination/binucleophilic 1,6-addition/proton transfer/tautomerization sequence.

We conceptualized a novel disconnection approach for the synthesis of fused tetrahydroquinolines that exploits a visible light-mediated radical (4 + 2) annulation between alkyl -(acyloxy)phthalimides and -substituted maleimides in the presence of DIPEA as an additive. The reaction proceeds through the formation of a photoactivated electron donor-acceptor complex between alkyl NHPI esters and DIPEA, and the final tetrahydroquinolines were obtained in a complete regioselective fashion. The methodology features a broad scope and good functional group tolerance and operates under metal- and catalyst-free reaction conditions.
