ORIGIN Hydroaminoalkylation (HAA) of alkenes is one of the most appealing methods for the construction of α-alkylated amines, and impressive advances in intermolecular HAA of nonelectrophilic alkenes have been made for secondary and tertiary alkylamine substrates. We recently developed a general catalytic solution for HAA with unprotected primary alkylamines using a combination of organophotoredox catalysis and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis.REACTION MECHANISM Our HAA reaction couples electronically unbiased styrenes with unprotected primary alkylamines. The catalytic cycle begins with photoexcitation of 3DPA2FBN (‘PC’)(step 1), then oxidation of azide ion [Ep/2 (N3•/N3 0)=+ 0.87 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE)] by PC*[E½ (PC*/PC•–)=+ 0.92 V versus SCE] to generate azidyl radical, N3•(step 2). This reductive quenching step is supported by Stern–Volmer analysis. The electrophilic N3• species irreversibly abstracts a hydrogen atom from the α-C–H bond of the alkylamine [bond dissociation energy (BDE)= 89–91±2 kcal mol–1] giving a nucleophilic α-amino radical and hydrazoic acid (HN3)(step 3). This radical then adds to the styrene (step 4), forming a benzylic radical [E½ (• CH2Ph/0CH2Ph)=–1.43 V versus SCE]. Single electron transfer (SET) reduction by PC•–[E½ (PC/PC•–)=–1.92 V versus SCE] delivers the corresponding carbanion, followed by proton transfer from HN3 (pKa= 7.9 in DMSO)(step 6) to give the γ-aryl amine product and regenerate both catalysts. A quantum yield for product formation of 0.31 does not exclude the possibility of a short innate chain featuring HAT from H–N3 (BDE= 93 kcal mol–1) to the benzylic radical (BDE for PhCH2Me= 85.4±1.5 kcal mol–1). Kinetic analysis found that the reaction is zero order in photocatalyst and azide ion, consistent with operation in a photon-limited regime. A zero order dependence on alkylamine and first order behaviour in styrene suggests that the turnover-limiting step (TLS) is either radical addition to the alkene (step 4) or catalyst regeneration (step 5).
