Article Abstract
A three-component amino etherification of alkenes presents an ideal and direct strategy to access high-value 1,2-alkylamino ethers yet remains challenging. Herein, we disclosed a catalytic three-component amino etherification of alkenes that enables unprecedented incorporation of versatile aliphatic amines and structurally diverse alkyl or aryl ethers onto alkenes of various substitution patterns. The success of this method relies on a copper-catalyzed electrophilic amination of alkenes using -benzoyl-hydroxylamines and the subsequent C-O bond formation using silyl ethers. Mechanistic studies further reveal the critical role of silyl ethers for an alkoxide transmetallation in the C-O coupling step, which guided us in further development of a more convenient protocol for amino oxygenation of alkenes directly using alcohols and phenols with an silyl ether formation. This catalytic method has been successfully applied to the functionalization of a wide range of complex bioactive molecules such as terpenoids, amino acids, nucleobases, and various heterocycles, showing broad functional group compatibility and great potential for its application in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

Article Synopsis
- Under acidic conditions with TFA and water, BocNHOTs facilitates specific 1,2-aminohydroxylation of alkenes through a two-step reaction involving aziridination and water-mediated opening.
- This method leads to different or more selective regioselectivity compared to traditional epoxidation methods.
- The reaction can be adapted to use various nucleophiles, enabling diverse transformations like amino(thio)etherification, diamination, and more, as well as unique intramolecular reactions.

Acid catalysed reductive etherification of -propargyl amino alcohols for the stereoselective synthesis of -2,5/2,6-disubstituted morpholines and -2,6/2,7-disubstituted oxazepanes has been developed. Mechanistic studies revealed that terminal alkynols gave morpholines a 6- hydroalkoxylation-isomerization-reduction cascade. Interestingly, an alkyne hydration-cyclization-reduction sequence is found to be involved in the formation of oxazepanes from alkyl substituted internal alkynols.

Broad application of α,α-disubstituted cyclic amino acid derivatives in medicinal chemistry urges for analogue design with improved pharmacokinetic properties. Herein, we disclose an electrochemical approach toward unnatural THF- and THP-containing amino acid derivatives that relies on anodic decarboxylation-intramolecular etherification of inexpensive and readily available -acetylamino malonic acid monoesters under Hofer-Moest reaction conditions. The decarboxylative cyclization proceeds under constant current conditions in an undivided cell in an aqueous medium without any added base.

The attention to polymer-based biomaterials, for instance, chitosan and its derivatives, as well as the techniques for using them in numerous scientific domains, is continuously rising. Chitosan is a decomposable naturally occurring polymeric material that is mostly obtained from seafood waste. Because of its special ecofriendly, biocompatible, non- toxic nature as well as antimicrobial properties, chitosan-based materials have received a lot of interest in the field of biomedical applications.
