We reported the visible-light-mediated photoredox-catalyzed oxidative radical-polar crossover and 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer combined site-selective remote C(sp)-N cross-coupling alkylamination of alkenes. Various anilines and hydroxamides (1,5-hydrogen atom transfer reagents) could be tolerated. The mechanistic studies indicated the radical nature of the reaction and the indispensability of light and photocatalyst. Stern-Volmer fluorescence quenching and cyclic voltammetry experiments have been used to outline the proposed reaction pathway.

Cholesterol is biosynthesized from squalene in the presence of tritiated water. Chemical degradation reveals that a considerable percentage of the total radioactivity is present at C-15. This result confirms the previous observations on the involvement of a C-15 hydrogen atom in cholesterol biosynthesis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe biosynthesis of cholesterol from squalene and tritiated water is described. Degradation of the cholesterol indicated that C-15 may be involved in cholesterol biosynthesis. In accordance with this view it is shown that in the conversion of [2RS-(3)H(2)]mevalonic acid into cholesterol one of the hydrogen atoms at C-15 is removed.
