-Aminopyridinium salts generate nitrogen-centered radicals by means of photoredox catalysis. Herein, we report that they can be trapped by enol equivalents to give α-amino carbonyl compounds in excellent yields. The broad synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by functionalization of ketones, aldehydes, esters enol equivalents, vinyl ethers, and 1,3-diketones without the need for prior conversion to enol derivatives. The developed method is easily scalable, offers broad substrate scope, high chemoselectivity.

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.

We report an organophotoredox-catalyzed silylation/germylation cascade cyclization of -alkenyl α-CF acrylamides under mild conditions. -Aminopyridinium salts act as hydrogen atom transfer reagents under photoredox catalysis in the generation of silyl and germyl radicals. An array of silyl- and germyl-substituted 3-CF-4-pyrrolin-2-one derivatives were constructed in a shorter reaction time with low catalyst loading in good to excellent yields at room temperature.

A N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed (NHC) three-component reaction involving -aminopyridinium salts, alkenes, and aldehydes for the synthesis of β-amino ketones is described. In this reaction, -aminopyridinium salts and the Breslow intermediate, which is generated from NHC and aldehydes, are utilized to undergo a single-electron transfer process, forming a ketyl radical intermediate and amidyl radicals. Subsequent to the formation of the amidyl radical, it undergoes selective capture by alkenes, followed by radical cross-coupling to yield the desired β-amino ketones.

Given the prevalence of pyridine motifs in FDA-approved drugs, selective fluoroalkylation of pyridines and quinolines is essential for preparing diverse bioisosteres. However, challenges are often faced with conventional Minisci reactions in achieving precise regioselectivity owing to competing reaction sites of pyridine and the limited availability of fluoroalkyl radical sources. Herein, we present a light-driven, C4-selective fluoroalkylation of azines utilizing N-aminopyridinium salts and readily available sulfinates.

-centered nucleophilicity increases upon alkylation, and thus selective partial alkylation of ammonia and primary amines can be challenging: Poor selectivity and overalkylation are often observed. Here we introduce -aminopyridinium salts as ammonia surrogates for the synthesis of secondary amines via self-limiting alkylation chemistry. Readily available -aryl--aminopyridinium salts engage in -alkylation and depyridylation to afford secondary aryl-alkyl amines without any overalkylation products.
