Abstract
Stereoselective α-amino C-H epimerization of exocyclic amines is achieved via photoredox catalyzed, thiyl-radical mediated, reversible hydrogen atom transfer to provide thermodynamically controlled anti/syn isomer ratios. The method is applicable to different substituents and substitution patterns about aminocyclopentanes, aminocyclohexanes, and a N-Boc-3-aminopiperidine. The method also provided efficient epimerization for primary, alkyl and (hetero)aryl secondary, and tertiary exocyclic amines. Demonstration of reversible epimerization, deuterium labeling, and luminescence quenching provides insight into the reaction mechanism.
