A mechanochemical synthesis of sulfonimidamides by iron(II)-catalyzed exogenous ligand-free N-acyl nitrene transfer to sulfinamides is reported. The one-step method tolerates a wide range of sulfinamides with various substituents under solvent-free ambient conditions. Compared to its solution-phase counterpart, this mechanochemical approach shows better conversion and chemoselectivity. Mechanistic investigations by ESI-MS revealed the generation of crucial nitrene iron intermediates.

The development of artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) offers a potent approach to incorporate non-natural chemical reactions into biocatalysis. Here we report the assembly of Mn(salen)-based ArMs by embedding biotinylated Mn(salen) complexes into streptavidin (Sav) variants. Using commercially available nitrene and oxo transfer reagents, these biohybrid catalysts catalyzed the aziridination of alkenes and oxidation of benzylic C-H bonds with up to 19 and 146 turnover numbers.

Despite the prominence of C-N bond forming cross-coupling reactions as a strategy to assemble molecular fragments, aminative coupling approaches, in which two fragments are assembled directly at the heteroatom, represents a rarely exploited retrosynthetic strategy. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and implementation of an anomeric amide reagent capable of promoting highly regioselective aminative alkene-arene and alkene-alkene coupling reactions. This transformation follows a sequence of catalyst-free chloroamination, N-deprotection, and formal nitrene functionalization, all in one-pot.

An iron-catalyzed nitrene transfer reaction for the rapid synthesis of sulfinamidines from readily available sulfenamides is reported. This method features mild conditions, short reaction times, and a broad substrate scope, allowing the preparation of a variety of sulfinamidines in good to excellent yields. The synthetic utility of the sulfinamidine products was further demonstrated through their conversion to other valuable sulfur(VI) compounds, such as sulfondiimidoyl fluorides, sulfinamidiate esters, and sulfonimidamides.

Nitrogen-heterocycles are privileged structures in both marketed drugs and natural products. On the other hand, C-H amination reactions furnish unconventional and straightforward approaches for the construction of C-N bonds. Yet, most of the known methods rely on precious metal catalysts.

We report a new TADF-catalyzed aziridination of alkenes under visible light. In this protocol, a free triplet nitrene is generated from the commercially available tosyl azide by energy transfer of the excited photocatalyst 4DPAIPN. Our finding enables the smooth installation of the strained aziridine ring into a remarkably wide scope of alkenes and pharmaceutical-derived olefins and natural products, as well as the synthesis of sitagliptin.
