Iridium-catalyzed Synthesis of Saturated N‑Heterocycles from Aldehydes and SnAP Reagents with Continuous Flow Photochemistry
Commercially
available tin amine protocol (SnAP) reagents provide
a simple approach to the synthesis of a wide variety of saturated
N-heterocycles from aldehydes. In this report, we disclose that the
copper(II) promoter and hexafluoroisopropanol can be replaced by photocatalytic
conditions using Ir[dF(CF<sub>3</sub>)ppy]<sub>2</sub>(dtbbpy)PF<sub>6</sub> in CH<sub>3</sub>CN. Continuous flow photochemical conditions
provide a clean, scalable approach to valuable products including
morpholines, piperazines, thiomorpholines, diazepanes, and oxazepanes
from aldehyde starting materials
