Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Alkylation of Heteroaryl Imines.


ABSTRACT: The preparation of heterobenzylic amines by a Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling between heteroaryl imines and C(sp3 ) electrophiles is reported. This umpolung-type alkylation proceeds under mild conditions, avoids the pre-generation of organometallic reagents, and exhibits good functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies are consistent with the imine substrate acting as a redox-active ligand upon coordination to a low-valent Ni center. The resulting bis(2-imino)heterocycle⋅Ni complexes can engage in alkylation reactions with a variety of C(sp3 ) electrophiles, giving heterobenzylic amine products in good yields.
