Visible light photoredox catalysis has recently emerged as a powerful tool for the development of new and valuable chemical transformations under mild conditions. Visible-light promoted enantioselective radical transformations of imines and iminium intermediates provide new opportunities for the asymmetric synthesis of amines and asymmetric β-functionalization of unsaturated carbonyl compounds. In this review, the advance in the catalytic asymmetric radical functionalization of imines, as well as iminium intermediates, are summarized. 1 Introduction 2 The enantioselective radical functionalization of imines 2.1 Asymmetric reduction 2.2 Asymmetric cyclization 2.3 Asymmetric addition 2.4 Asymmetric radical coupling 3 The enantioselective radical functionalization of iminium ions 3.1 Asymmetric radical alkylation 3.2 Asymmetric radical acylation 4 Conclusion

Bromotrifluoromethane (CF3Br) is a simple, inexpensive and abundant industrial material employed as a trifluoromethylating reagent. However, only limited strategies using CF3Br as a fluorine source are reported. Herein, we describe a visible-light-induced hydrotrifluoromethylation of alkenes and alkynes with CF3Br. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with good functional group tolerance, providing a new route for the application of BrCF3 in organic synthesis.

We report a visible light-assisted one-pot method for the synthesis of polynitrophenols through radical tandem hydroxylation and nitration of arylboronic acids by utilizing copper(II) nitrate tri­hydrate as the nitro source. This method features mild conditions, a simple procedure, and good functional group tolerance. Compared to conventional methods, this work provides a straightforward approach for the polynitration of aromatic compounds.

A simple and efficient cationic Fe(III)/TEMPO-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of aroyl hydrazones has been developed for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. The reaction offers a broad scope, good functional-group tolerance, and high yields under mild conditions in the presence of O2.

AbstractThe flourishing Ni/photoredox-catalyzed asymmetric couplings typically rely on redox-neutral reactions. In this work, we report a reductive cross-coupling of aryl iodides and α-chloroboranes under a dual catalytic regime to further enrich the metallaphotoredox chemistry. This approach proceeds under mild conditions (visible light, ambient temperature, no strong base) to access the versatile benzylic boronic esters with good functional group tolerance and excellent enantioselectivities.

AbstractAlkylated heteroarenes are widely found in bioactive molecules and pharmaceuticals. Therefore, there is great interest in developing a chemoselective alkylation of heteroarenes under mild conditions, particularly during a late-stage functionalization step for the purpose of rapid derivatization. Herein, we introduce an efficient visible-light-promoted C–H alkylation of nitrogen-containing heteroarenes by using C4-alkyl 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHPs) as radical precursors at ambient temperatures. A broad scope of heteroarenes, such as 4-hydroxyquinazoline and its derivatives, including those bearing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups, can be successfully alkylated in good yields by using various C4-alkyl DHPs.

A new visible-light-induced Ir(III)-catalyzed difluoroalkylation–bicyclization of 1,7-enynes with ethyl 2-bromo-2,2-difluoroacetate (BrCF2CO2Et) is described, furnishing a wide range of difluoromethyl-containing benzo[a]fluoren-5-ones in good to excellent yields. The reaction is operationally simple, proceeds with high efficiency under mild conditions, and shows excellent functional group compatibility.

This short review presents an overview of visible-light-driven asymmetric catalysis by chiral complexes of first-row transition metals. The processes described here include dual catalysis by a chiral complex of copper, nickel, cobalt or chromium and an additional photoredox or energy-transfer catalyst, and bifunctional catalysis by a single chiral copper or nickel catalyst. These methods allow valuable transformations with high functional group compatibility. They provide stereoselective construction of carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds under mild conditions, and produce a diverse range of previously unknown enantio-enriched compounds.
