Abstract
The intermolecular hydroarylation of simple alkenes with pyridyl radicals has been achieved using a photoredox radical mechanism. The regiospecific single-electron reduction of halogenated pyridines with a commercially available iridium catalyst, followed by radical addition to unactivated alkene substrates, which occurs with exclusive anti-Markovnikov selectivity. This system was then expanded to include pyridyl radical addition to vinyl heteroatoms, as well as alkynes (giving the linear anti-Markovnikov product). Through mechanistic investigations, we hypothesize that this protocol is operating through a proton coupled electron transfer mechanism, uniquely enabled by slightly acidic 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol as the reaction solvent to give an electrophilic, protonated pyridyl radical intermediate which then engages electron-rich olefins. Additionally, an organocatalyzed photoredox protocol for the regioselective synthesis of arylethylamines via aryl radicals has been developed. While arylethylamine synthesis strategies have been previously reported utilizing styrene hydroamination, we offered a complementary approach, where photoinduced reduction of aryl halides and intermolecular coupling to vinylamine derivatives afforded a wide range of arylethylamine structures. Both hydroarylation systems are mild, scalable, tolerant of many functional groups, and effective for the preparation of a wide range of medicinally relevant scaffolds with complete regiocontrol.
