The group publishes a Single-Electron-Transfer-Induced C(sp³)-N Couplings via C-C Bond Cleavage of Cycloketoxime Esters on J. Org. Chem.. Congrats Zhao!

ABSTRACT: A practical single-electron-transfer-induced selectiveC(sp³)?N coupling of cycloketoximes with anilines via C?Cbond cleavage under copper-catalytic and synergetic photoredox/copper-catalytic reaction systems has been uncovered. These twopowerful and simple protocols demonstrated excellent selectivityand good functional group compatibility without any base or ligand control. Preliminary mechanistic experiments indicated thata radical-mediated process was involved in these transformations.
