Solar energy is clean, abundant, and more importantly, renewable. As such, any reaction that efficiently harvests and converts solar energy into chemical energy is more important than ever as the world turns to its scientists to meet the challenge of environmental sustainability. Visible light (390–750 nm) accounts for 43% of the overall solar spectrum. However, many organic molecules are unable to absorb visible light efficiently, thereby limiting the use of visible light in organic synthesis. A possible solution to this problem involves the use of visible-light photoredox catalysts such as ruthenium [1] or iridium [2] polypyridyl complexes to channel energy from visible light into organic molecules. The groups of MacMillan,[3] Yoon,[4] Stephenson,[5] Akita,[6] and others [7] have recently published seminal works on visible-light-promoted C–C bond-formation reactions catalyzed by these complexes. Amines are often used as a sacrificial electron donor to reduce the photoexcited RuII and IrIII complexes to RuI and IrII complexes.[8] Recently, amines have been also explored as a substrate in these processes.[9] We were intrigued by the potential of using amines as both the sacrificial donor and the substrate, thus making the process more atom economical.We envisioned a class of amines that are capable of initializing a downstream irreversible reaction upon oxidation by the photoexcited RuII or IrIII complexes. Cyclopropylamines have been shown to undergo irreversible opening of the cyclopropyl ring upon their oxidation to the nitrogen radical cations. Based on this mode of action, cyclopropylamines have been used to probe amine oxidation in biological systems.[10] Cyclopropylamines have seen limited use in organic synthesis to date.[11] All these applications focus on intramolecular reactions, except the formation of the endoperoxides.[11a] Furthermore, the generation of nitrogen radical cations requires UV light with a photosensitizer or a strong oxidant (eg, ceric ammonium nitrate), thus limiting the substrate scope and/or the type of the products being formed. Since visible-light photocatalysis has been shown to be a mild and chemoselective method to oxidize amines, we envisioned that new transformations of cyclopropylamines catalyzed by a RuII or IrIII polypyridyl complex could be developed (Scheme 1). Herein we report an intermolecular [3+ 2] cycloaddition of olefins with monoand bicyclic cyclopropylanilines under visible light photocatalysis.
