Abstract
We report a metal-free synthesis of highly functionalized 1,6-amino alcohols through a visible-light 1,2-carboimination of alkenes and bifunctional starting materials prepared from commercially available alcohols. This protocol orchestrates the generation of up to four different types of radicals, which are efficiently recombined to yield 1,6-iminyl alcohols. The methodology demonstrated a broad functional group tolerance and was validated by the late-stage installation of the 1,6-amino alcohol motif in biomolecules and pharmaceuticals and the scale-up of the process. The versatility of the products was highlighted by their conversion into a variety of useful intermediates for target-directed synthesis.
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.
