RESUMO
A protocol for the synthesis of α-amino-vinylphosphine oxides by phosphinoenamination reaction between alkyl nitriles and phosphine oxides was developed. The combination of Mn(OAc)2 as a Lewis acid and guanidine as a Lewis base was found to be an efficient catalytic system for this reaction. A series of alkyl nitriles and phosphine oxides are compatible with this conversion, furnishing the desired products in up to 95% yield under mild conditions. Furthermore, this method demonstrates the capability of gram-scale synthesis.
RESUMO
Radical/radical cross-coupling remains challenging due to diffusion control issues. Herein, we report a visible-light-induced radical/radical cross-coupling reaction of quaternary ammonium salts and Hantzschs via C-N and C-C bond cleavage. The current synthetic approach furnishes 1,2-diphenylethanes in moderate to good yields and provides a method for the construction of the C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond.
