Photoinduced Copper-Catalyzed Three-Component Radical Carboamination of Styrene Derivatives

The catalytic three-component radical carboamination of alkenes has recently emerged as an alternative and robust platform for the rapid construction of diverse and valuable amines. Despite great advances in this field, new methods that enable highly selective access to new chemical space surrounding the amine functional groups are still in high demand. Herein, we report a generally applicable visible light-induced copper-catalyzed three-component radical cyanoalkylamination reaction of alkenes, oxime carbonates, and benzoyloxycarbamates. This protocol demonstrates high chemo-selectivity, broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance, providing access to a variety of cyanoalkylated aliphatic amines with good yields.
