This report describes the photochemical conversion of aminocyclopropanes into 1-aminonorbornanes via formal [3 + 2] cycloadditions initiated by homolytic fragmentation of amine radical cation intermediates. Aligning with the modern movement toward sp(3)-rich motifs in drug discovery, this strategy provides access to a diverse array of substitution patterns on this saturated carbocyclic framework while offering the robust functional-group tolerance (e.g., -OH, -NHBoc) necessary for further derivatization. Evaluating the metabolic stability of selected morpholine-based 1-aminonorbornanes demonstrated a low propensity for oxidative processing and no proclivity toward reactive metabolite formation, suggesting a potential bioisosteric role for 1-aminonorbornanes. Continuous-flow processing allowed for efficient operation on the gram scale, providing promise for translation to industrially relevant scales. This methodology only requires low loadings of a commercially available, visible-light-active photocatalyst and a simple salt; thus, it stays true to sustainability goals while readily delivering saturated building blocks that can reduce metabolic susceptibility within drug development programs.
