Divergent cyanoalkylation/cyanoalkylsulfonylation of enamides under organophotoredox catalytic conditions

Org Biomol Chem. 2022 Nov 16;20(44):8599-8604. doi: 10.1039/d2ob01775j.

Abstract

An organophotoredox-catalyzed divergent cyanoalkylation/cyanoalkylsulfonylation of enamides in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner has been reported. In this mild and efficient protocol, cyclobutanone oxime esters serve as a cyanoalkylating source and inexpensive K2S2O5 serves as an SO2 surrogate. Broad substrate scope, compatibility of various sensitive functional groups and further functional group transformation are the highlights of this method.
