Abstract
A photocatalyzed ring-closing metathesis/amination of 1,6-enynes and 1,7-enynes using alkyl oxime esters as both an alkene deconstruction auxiliary and amination source is present for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams and quinolin-2-ones. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer is the key to the generation of the unstabilized alkyl radicals, which subsequently promote homolytic Cα–Cβ cleavage under the driving force of formation of more stable captodative radicals.
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.
