A copper-catalyzed electrophilic amidation of aryltrifluoroborates with use of N-methoxyamides is reported. The reaction shows high functional group compatibility derived from two distinct features: 1) the high stability of the N-methoxyamides and 2) the nonbasic mild conditions in the presence of LiCl. The developed method can also be applied to the synthesis of enamides, which are widely distributed in natural products. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the initial step is the transmetalation of the aryltrifluoroborate by the assistance of LiCl, and the resulting aryl copper intermediate provides the anilide through non-S 2 oxidative addition to the N-methoxyamide and subsequent reductive elimination.

Over the past decade, dioxazolones have been widely used as -acylamide sources in amidation processes of challenging substrates, typically employing precious transition metals. However, these catalytic systems often present several challenges associated with cost, toxicity, stability, and recyclability. Among the 3d transition metals, copper catalysts have been gaining increasing attention owing to their abundance, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.

By employing electrophilic TsSCF as an efficient SCF source, we reported Cu/ (chiral sulfoxide-phosphine ligand)-catalyzed enantioselective nucleophilic substitutions. Under this protocol, α-pyridyl-α-fluoro esters as latent carbon nucleophiles, compounds containing a C-SCF stereocenter along with azacycles and fluorine atoms, were obtained in good yields and enantioselectivities under mild conditions (up to 68% yield, 92% ee).

The synthesis of chiral 1,1-diaryl compounds, particularly those containing a pyridine moiety, is of significant interest due to their pharmaceutical applications. Here, we report the development of a copper-catalyzed enantioselective 1,4-hydropyridylation of conjugated dienes. Utilizing 2-fluoropyridine as the electrophile, CuOAc, and the chiral ligand Tol-BINAP, we optimized reaction conditions to achieve the desired chiral 1,1-diaryl products containing both a pyridine and a cis-crotyl group.

Article Synopsis
- Radical-mediated cross-coupling reactions are a powerful method for creating diverse molecular structures, but they face challenges in controlling reaction pathways and selectivity due to the high reactivity of radicals.
- The use of visible-light photoredox catalysis combined with chiral copper catalysts can enhance control over radical species and improve enantioselective reactions.
- This research focuses on innovative strategies for chiral C-C and C-O bond formation by utilizing dual photoredox/copper catalysis, highlighting the effectiveness of visible light in achieving selectivity in these reactions.

α-substituted ketones are important chemical targets as synthetic intermediates as well as functionalities in natural products and pharmaceuticals. We report the α-acetylation of C(sp)-H substrates R-H with arylmethyl ketones ArC(O)Me to provide α-alkylated ketones ArC(O)CHR at RT with BuOOBu as oxidant via copper(I) -diketiminato catalysts. Proceeding via alkyl radicals R•, this method enables α-substitution with bulky substituents without competing elimination that occurs in more traditional alkylation reactions between enolates and alkyl electrophiles.
