ENCHFATCS | Enantioselective N-α C(sp3)-H Functionalization of Amides by Trifunctional Catalytic Systems

Summary
The trifunctional catalytic systems (TCS) consisting of bifunctional photocatalysts and transition metals will be designed to achieve the enantioselective N-α C(sp3)-H functionalization of amides (ENCHFA). Mechanistically, the bifunctional chiral hydrogen bonding-based aryl ketones will activate the amides to form α-amido radicals via HAT and control their reactivity in an enantioselective manner while transition metal will provide another opportunity to active substrates and accomplish the photocatalytic cycle via a radical relay. Combining chiral hydrogen bonding-based aryl ketones with Co catalysis, the protocol will develop the external oxidant-free enantioselective N-α C-H alkenylation, arylation and alkoxylation of amides with H2 evolution. Furthermore, the enantioselective N-α C-H trifluoromethylation of amides will be relized by merging chiral hydrogen bonding-based aryl ketones with Cu catalysis. The trifunctional catalytic systems will not only enrich the types of enantioselective C-H functionalization of amides, but also reveal the mechanism of trifunctional catalytic systems, as well as provide guidance for designing multiple systems in asymmetric catalysis.

Original description

The trifunctional catalytic systems (TCS) consisting of bifunctional photocatalysts and transition metals will be designed to achieve the enantioselective N-α C(sp3)-H functionalization of amides (ENCHFA). Mechanistically, the bifunctional chiral hydrogen bonding-based aryl ketones will activate the amides to form α-amido radicals via HAT and control their reactivity in an enantioselective manner while transition metal will provide another opportunity to active substrates and accomplish the photocatalytic cycle via a radical relay. Combining chiral hydrogen bonding-based aryl ketones with Co catalysis, the protocol will develop the external oxidant-free enantioselective N-α C-H alkenylation, arylation and alkoxylation of amides with H2 evolution. Furthermore, the enantioselective N-α C-H trifluoromethylation of amides will be relized by merging chiral hydrogen bonding-based aryl ketones with Cu catalysis. The trifunctional catalytic systems will not only enrich the types of enantioselective C-H functionalization of amides, but also reveal the mechanism of trifunctional catalytic systems, as well as provide guidance for designing multiple systems in asymmetric catalysis.
