Divergent Strain‐Release Amino‐Functionalization of (1.1.1) Propellane with Electrophilic Nitrogen‐Radicals

Abstract: Herein we report the development of a photocatalytic strategy for the divergent preparation of functionalized bicyclo[1.1.1]pentylamines. This approach exploits, for the first time, the ability of nitrogen‐radicals to undergo strain‐release reaction with [1.1.1]propellane. This reactivity is facilitated by the electrophilic nature of these open‐shell intermediates and the presence of strong polar effects in the transition‐state for C−N bond formation/ring‐opening. With the aid of a simple reductive quenching photoredox cycle, we have successfully harnessed this novel radical strain‐release amination as part of a multicomponent cascade compatible with several external trapping agents. Overall, this radical strategy enables the rapid construction of novel amino‐functionalized building blocks with potential application in medicinal chemistry programs as p‐substituted aniline bioisosteres.
