The synthesis of functionalized azepanes was accomplished through the palladium-mediated cross-coupling of α-halo eneformamides with mostly unactivated nucleophiles under mild conditions. Alkenylations proceeded with excellent stereoselectivitiy. In most

Cyclic amines are ubiquitous core structures of bioactive natural products and pharmaceutical drugs. Although the site-selective abstraction of C-H bonds is an attractive strategy for preparing valuable functionalized amines from their readily available parent heterocycles, this approach has largely been limited to substrates that require protection of the amine nitrogen atom. In addition, most methods rely on transition metals and are incompatible with the presence of amine N-H bonds. Here we introduce a protecting-group-free approach for the α-functionalization of cyclic secondary amines. An operationally simple one-pot procedure generates products via a process that involves intermolecular hydride transfer to generate an imine intermediate that is subsequently captured by a nucleophile, such as an alkyl or aryl lithium compound. Reactions are regioselective and stereospecific and enable the rapid preparation of bioactive amines, as exemplified by the facile synthesis of anabasine and (-)-solenopsin A.
A One-Pot Process for the Enantioselective Synthesis of Amines via Reductive Amination under Transfer Hydrogenation Conditions

(Equation presented) Cyclic amines may be prepared via a sequence of deprotection followed by intramolecular reductive amination of t-Boc-protected amino ketones under asymmetric transfer hydrogenation conditions. In cases where the corresponding imine reaction proceeds with high enantioselectivity, this is reflected in the one-step process.
