Recommended by Xuemei Yao _ MC3 KEYWORDS: halogen-atom transfer, copper catalysis, cross-coupling, aryl radicals, alkyl iodide ABSTRACT: Here, we report a toolbox strategy to cross-couple unactivated secondary alkyl iodides with various N-, O-, and C based nucleophiles. This strategy harnesses the ability of photoredox-generated phenyl radicals to mediate halogen-atom transfer (XAT) and convert alkyl iodides into the corresponding radicals. These species engage in a second catalytic cycle, mediated by copper, which enables C−N/O/C bond formation with the various nucleophiles. Reaction Scope Proposed Mechanism Summary and Comments The results reported here demonstrate that aryl radical-mediated XAT can be effectively used, in conjunction with copper catalysis, for the divergent and modular assembly of C(sp3)−N/O/C bonds using alkyl iodide as the coupling partners. This strategy provides access to XAT−Cu reactivity without the need for expensive or potentially hazardous reagents and delivers products in a manner orthogonal to classic but still challenging palladium and nickel catalysis. Prof. D. Leonori报道了,芳基自由基介导的XAT可以有效地与铜催化相结合,催化烷基碘化物与亲和试剂偶联形成C(sp3)−N/O/C键。该策略无需昂贵或潜在危险的试剂即可获得XAT−Cu反应性,对传统但仍然具有挑战性的钯和镍催化体系是一种很好的补充。 |
