A photoassisted Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling between tosyl-protected alkyl aziridines and commercially available (hetero)aryl iodides is reported. This mild and modular method proceeds in the absence of stoichiometric heterogeneous reductants and uses an inexpensive organic photocatalyst to access medicinally valuable β-phenethylamine derivatives. Unprecedented reactivity was achieved with
报道了甲苯磺酰基保护的烷基氮丙啶和市售(杂)芳基碘化物之间的光辅助镍催化还原交叉偶联。这种温和且模块化的方法在没有化学计量的多相还原剂的情况下进行,并使用廉价的有机光催化剂来获得具有药用价值的 β-苯乙胺衍生物。环氮丙啶的活化实现了前所未有的反应性。机理研究表明,在这些条件下观察到的区域选择性和反应性是氮丙啶亲核碘化物开环生成碘胺作为活性亲电子试剂的结果。该策略还能够与 Boc 保护的氮丙啶交叉偶联。
