The catalytic union of amides, sulfonamides, anilines, imines or N-heterocycles with a broad spectrum of electronically and sterically diverse alkyl bromides has been achieved via a visible light-induced metallaphotoredox platform. The use of a halogen abstraction–radical capture (HARC) mechanism allows for room temperature coupling of C(sp3)-bromides using simple Cu(II) salts, effectively bypassing the prohibitively high barriers typically associated with thermally-induced SN2 or SN1 N-alkylation. This regio- and chemoselective protocol is compatible with >10 classes of medicinally-relevant N-nucleophiles, including established pharmaceutical agents, in addition to structurally diverse primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl bromides. Furthermore, the capacity of HARC methodologies to engage conventionally inert coupling partners is highlighted via the union of N-nucleophiles with cyclopropyl bromides and unactivated alkyl chlorides, substrates that are incompatible with nucleophilic substitution pathways. Preliminary mechanistic experiments validate the dual catalytic, open-shell nature of this platform, which enables reactivity previously unattainable in traditional halide-based N-alkylation systems. Traditional substitution reactions between nitrogen nucleophiles and alkyl halides feature well-established, substrate-dependent limitations and competing reaction pathways under thermally-induced conditions. Herein, we report that a metallaphotoredox approach, utilizing a halogen abstraction-radical capture (HARC) mechanism, provides a valuable alternative to conventional N-alkylation. This visible light-induced, copper-catalyzed protocol is successful for coupling >10 classes of N-nucleophiles with diverse primary, secondary or tertiary alkyl bromides. Moreover, this open-shell platform alleviates outstanding N-alkylation challenges regarding regioselectivity, direct cyclopropylation and secondary alkyl chloride functionalization.
