Article Abstract
In this study, copper-catalyzed reductive hydroamination of alkenes and 1,3-dienes with nitroarenes was developed. Such umpolung hydroamination of unsaturated C═C double bonds exhibited Markovnikov selectivity, and the hydroamination of 1,3-dienes preferred 1,2-addition. Mechanistic studies suggested the system proceeds through a radical pathway with the concomitant activation of both substrates to nucleophilic alkyl radical species and electrophilic nitro-based intermediates, respectively. The attack of alkyl radical species on the N atom of nitro-based intermediates yielded the desired amines. However, this C-N cross-coupling strongly competed with the self-reduction of each species under such a system.

We report a novel copper-catalyzed reductive arylation of nitroarenes with arylboronic acids under LED light, enabling diarylamine synthesis under mild conditions. This photochemical approach complements traditional methods, leveraging nitroarenes' multifunctionality to activate isopropanol and facilitate arylboronic acid dehydration into reactive arylboroxines. Mechanistic studies highlight arylboroxines as key intermediates and reveal radical pathways supported by detailed experimental evidence.

A copper-catalyzed three-component coupling of vinyl arenes, bis(pinacolato)diboron, and nitrones has been developed, which offers access to a diverse range of γ-(-aryl)amino boronates via reductive workup, exhibiting good-to-excellent diastereoselectivities. This new protocol, which can be performed at a gram scale, utilizes nitrones as simple precursors and provides γ-amino boronates having versatile utilities in downstream applications. Additionally, oxidative pathway control allows the selective generation of 3-substituted α,β-unsaturated imines, expanding the synthetic utility of this catalytic system.

A novel copper-catalyzed reductive deimination strategy for synthesizing sulfoxides from sulfoximines is reported. This method employs donor-acceptor diazoesters as safe carbene precursors, enabling the reaction to proceed efficiently under ambient air at room temperature. The protocol eliminates the use of toxic organomercury reagents and harsh conditions, offering a broad substrate scope with functional group compatibility (, allyl, hydroxyl, and pyridyl).

The difluoromethyl group (CFH) is an important motif in medicinal chemistry. We report the efficient synthesis of a range of optically pure α-difluoromethyl amines via copper-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective hydroamination of -difluoroalkenes. The application of a chiral pyridine-derived ligand inhibits β-F elimination from the chiral α-CFH organocopper intermediate.
