Abstract

A novel transformation of methyl imines into α-iminonitriles under mild and transition-metal-free conditions is described. Three C sp 3-H bonds are cleaved in a radical pathway at room temperature under air. Simple bromide salts are employed to assist this radical process (see scheme; FG=functional group, PIDA = iodobenzene diacetate, TMS = trimethylsilyl).
