An unprecedented IrIII[df(CF3)ppy]2(dtbbpy)PF6-catalyzed simple photochemical process for direct addition of amines and alcohols to the relatively less reactive nitrile triple bond is described herein. Various amides and esters are synthesized as the reaction products, with nitriles being the acid equivalents. A mini-library of different types of amides and esters is made using this mild and efficient process, which uses only 1 mol% of photocatalyst under visible light irradiation (λ = 445 nm). The reaction strategy is also efficient for gram-scale synthesis.

A straightforward synthesis of amides, ureas, and esters is reported by visible-light cross-dehydrogenating coupling (CDC) of aldehydes (or amine carbaldehydes) and amines/R-OTBS ethers by photoredox catalysis. The reaction is found to be general and high yielding. A plausible mechanistic pathway has been proposed for these transformations and is supported by appropriate controlled experiments.

Compared to the α-functionalization of aldehydes, ketones, even esters, the direct α-modification of amides is still a challenge because of the low acidity of α-CH groups. The α-functionalization of N?H (primary and secondary) amides, containing both an unactived α-C?H bond and a competitively active N?H bond, remains elusive. Shown herein is the general and efficient oxidative α-oxyamination and hydroxylation of aliphatic amides including secondary N?H amides. This transition-metal-free chemistry with high chemoselectivity provides an efficient approach to α-hydroxy amides. This oxidative protocol significantly enables the selective functionalization of inert α-C?H bonds with the complete preservation of active N?H bond.
