Chemodivergent photocatalytic access to 1-pyrrolines and 1-tetralones involving switchable C(sp3)–H functionalization

A chemodivergent photocatalytic approach to 1-pyrrolines and 1-tetralones from alkyl bromides and vinyl azides has been developed through chemoselectively controllable intermolecular [3 + 2] and [4 + 2] cyclization. This photoredox-neutral two-component protocol involves intermolecular radical addit...

description A chemodivergent photocatalytic approach to 1-pyrrolines and 1-tetralones from alkyl bromides and vinyl azides has been developed through chemoselectively controllable intermolecular [3 + 2] and [4 + 2] cyclization. This photoredox-neutral two-component protocol involves intermolecular radical addition and switchable distal C(sp3)–H functionalization enabled by iminyl radical-mediated 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer. Meanwhile, chemoselectivity between C(sp3)–N bond formation and C(sp3)–C(sp2) bond formation is precisely switched by photocatalysts (Ru(bpy)3(PF6)2 vs. fac-Ir(ppy)3) and additives (base vs. acid).
