Chiral exocylic vicinal diamines are biologically and chemically important compounds, but they are not easy to make. In this paper, an interesting aminative Umpolung cyclization process has been developed. Aromatic aldehydes 6 bearing an electrophilic chiral sulfinimine group underwent imine formation with 2,2-diphenylglycine (2), decarboxylation, and subsequent Umpolung cyclization, producing various trans-diamines 10 in 84-96% yields with high trans/cis ratios under very mild conditions. This work not only provides an efficient, clean, and mild method for the synthesis of chiral exocyclic vicinal diamines in one step but also represents a new application of aminative Umpolung strategy on intramolecular reactions.

Visible light-induced radical umpolung chemistry is utilized to synthesize trifluoromethylated unnatural α-amino acid and amine derivatives. This approach utilizes photoredox catalysis to perform a single-electron-transfer reduction of imines generating a N-centred radical that eventually migrates to the C-centre followed by a radical-radical cross-coupling to deliver reductive trifluoromethylation products.

Article Synopsis
- Aromatic substitution can be enhanced by a prior redox reaction, specifically in redox-active aromatic compounds.
- Research highlights pathways for redox-induced substitution (RIAS) involving a redox-active guanidino-functionalized aromatic molecule (GFA) interacting with amines or guanidines.
- Oxidizing the GFA changes its role from a nucleophile to an electrophile, allowing for the creation of new N-heteropolycyclic structures and unsymmetrically-substituted aromatic compounds in synthetic chemistry.

Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction, typically catalyzed by a Lewis base, is a popular and useful method for C-C bond formation. Unfortunately, it is limited by a slow reaction rate and has sensitivity toward steric and electronic parameters. Despite tremendous efforts, the versatility of the reaction keeps the quest open for new mechanistic and catalytic pathways.

ConspectusLewis π acids, particularly high-valent transition metals with vacant orbitals, can coordinate with unsaturated compounds such as alkynes and alkenes by means of π-bonding. The coordination enhances the electrophilicity of the bound compounds, thereby facilitating reactions─such as nucleophilic addition─that take place at the ligated carbon-carbon multiple bonds. This activation phenomenon occurs at the ligand rather than at the metal atom, and it has been extensively utilized in the development of catalytic methods.

Ruthenium(II) complexes are known to form η-arene complexes with benzene-containing compounds through π-coordination, a property extensively utilized to initiate reactions not typically observed with free arenes. A prime example is nucleophilic aromatic substitution, where ruthenium-complexed aryl halides undergo nucleophilic attack, allowing the direct synthesis of diverse aromatic compounds by displacing halides with nucleophiles. However, this activation relies on the electron-withdrawing effect of the Ru(II) species, as well as is hindered by the resistance of η-arenes to arene exchange.
