Abstract
Decyanation after α-functionalization by exploiting the inherent properties of cyano groups enables the strategic assembly of a carbon scaffold. Herein, we demonstrate an amine-ligated boryl radical-mediated cyano group transfer (CGT) strategy of malononitriles under photocatalytic conditions. This strategy allows for the cleavage of C(sp3)–CN and the formation of C(sp3)–D and C(sp3) to realize decyanative deuteration and cyclization via radical-polar crossover. Computational studies successfully demonstrated the reactivity of CGT promoters can be accurately assessed.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
