Herein, we report an on-DNA photoredox-mediated deaminative alkylation method for diversifying DNA-tagged acrylamide substrate with amine-derived radicals. The radicals can be conveniently generated from sterically hindered primary amines, and the deaminative alkylation can tolerate a broad array of radical precursors. Furthermore, the methodology is applicable to Boc-protected diamines, free amino acids, and aryl halides, which bear functional groups enabling additional rounds of diversification. The method is believed to offer a high potential for constructing DNA-encoded libraries, as was demonstrated by the production of a mock library in a 2 × 3 matrix format and confirmation of DNA stability by UPLC-MS and qPCR experiments.

An efficient electrochemical strategy for the deaminative functionalization of alkyl amines has been described. The alkyl bistriflimidates were readily accessed by the treatment of alkyl amines with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride and unprecedentedly employed for C-N bond activation. They can be applied to a range of transformations, including borylation, sulfuration, selenation, sulfonation, Additionally, deaminative esterification and amidation can be performed under catalytic base conditions.

The functionalization of the C-N bond of amines is a straightforward strategy for the construction of complex scaffolds or for the late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals. Herein, we describe a photoredox-catalyzed strategy for the deaminative alkylation of primary amine-derived isonitriles that provides unnatural amino acid derivatives under mild conditions. The use of silacarboxylic acids as silyl radical precursors enables the generation of carbon-centered radicals that allow the construction of Csp-Csp bonds via a Giese-type addition, avoiding the undesired hydrodeamination product.

While selective defunctionalizations are valuable in organic synthesis, hydrodeamination of primary amines poses challenges. Deuterodeamination, analogous to hydrodeamination, presents even greater difficulties due to its frequently slower deuteration rate, interference by hydrogenation and constraints in deuterated sources. This study introduces a reliable, robust, and scalable hydro- and deuterodeamination method capable of handling various primary amines.

We present a versatile nickel-electrocatalytic deaminative cross-coupling platform for the efficient construction of C(sp)-C(sp) and C(sp)-C(sp) bonds from readily available alkyl bistriflimides. This methodology involves the assembly of two leaving groups on alkyl amines to form alkyl bistriflimides, followed by their effective coupling with a wide range of alkyl halides, alkyl pseudohalides, aryl halides, and alkenyl halides under electrochemical reductive conditions. Moreover, the successful application of electrochemical reductive relay cross-coupling and transition metal-free cross-electrophile coupling further demonstrates the versatility of alkyl bistriflimides as valuable building blocks in organic synthesis.

A Ni-catalyzed C-N bond activation of 2-pyridylpyridone and 1-(9-alkyl 9-purin-6-yl)pyridin-2(1)-one and coupling with arylboronic acid have been achieved. A unique feature of this reaction is the strategic activation of the bridging C-N bond and replacement of the pyridone unit with aryl groups using nickel catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. This provides an exciting new tool to build C-C bonds in the place of pyridones.
