Abstract
External tuning of enamine intermediate has significantly expanded reaction space of typical aminocatalysis. Notwithstanding the progress of chemo- and photo-oxidation of enamine intermediate, electro-oxidation was left as a much less explored area, in stark contrast to the prosperous renaissance of electrochemistry in recent years. Challenges mainly come from the reactivity barrier as a consequence of heterogeneous electron transfer and subtle stereocontrol in ionic electrolyte solution under the influence of electric field. Herein, we report asymmetric α-alkenylation of carbonyl compounds using potassium alkenyl trifluoroborate as a model reaction to demonstrate the capability of primary amine catalysis under electrochemical conditions. By employing enamine redox mediator mapping (e-RM2) strategy, a new organic mediator, dimethoxyl naphthalene, was found to greatly enhance reactivity. Mechanistic studies uncover an ion-pair interaction between protonated aminocatalyst and anionic substrate that accounts for the exceptional enantioselectivity. This catalytic system demonstrates the best level of enantioselectivities in electro-oxidative enamine transformations so far.

Abstract
α-Amino aldehydes, as versatile chiral synthons, are easily racemized under normal acid or base conditions, seriously limiting their synthetic potentials. We report herein an effective deracemization of α-amino aldehydes by a synergistic chiral primary amine and hypervalent iodine catalysis under visible light. The developed catalytic system allows for the on-demand production of α-Boc- or Cbz-protected amino aldehydes with high enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies verified a photochemical Z-E isomerization mechanism that drives the deracemization process.

Abstract
An electrochemical one-pot synthesis of enaminyl sulfonate esters was established, featuring a quasidivided cell under constant current conditions. The multicomponent reaction utilizes simple and readily available alkylamines and an easy-to-use stock solution of SO2 and alcohols. Omission of additional supporting electrolyte through in-situ-generated monoalkylsulfite facilitates the downstream processing. A diverse scope with more than 28 examples and yields up to 85% as well as a 20-fold scale-up reaction prove the feasibility of this novel protocol.

Abstract
Singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) activation of in situ generated enamines has achieved great success in (asymmetric) α-functionalization of carbonyl compounds. However, examples on the use of this activation mode in the transformations of other functional groups are rare, and the combination of SOMO activation with transition metal catalysis is still less explored. In the area of deoxygenative functionalization of amides, intermediates such as iminium ions and enamines were often generated in situ to result in the formation of α-functionalized amines. In contrast, the direct deoxygenation of amides to β-functionalized amines is highly appealing yet remains scarcely investigated. Here, a deoxygenative arylation of amides with aryl halides was developed via multicatalysis of iridium/photoredox/nickel/iridium, affording β-aryl amines in high efficiency. The key to the success of this reaction is the SOMO activation of enamine in synergy with a Ni-catalyzed arylation, which is in conjunction with two compatible Ir-catalyzed reduction processes.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate prediction of basic physicochemical parameters of molecules will greatly accelerate the target-orientated design of novel reactions and materials but has been long challenging. Herein, a chemical language model-based deep learning method, TransChem, has been developed for the prediction of redox potentials of organic molecules. Embedding an effective molecular characterization (combining spatial and electronic features), a nonlinear molecular messaging approach (Mol-Attention), and a perturbation learning method, TransChem, shows high accuracy in predicting the redox potential of organic radicals comprising over 100,000 data (R2 > 0.97, MAE <0.09 V) and is generalized to the smaller 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole data set (<3000 data points) and electron affinity data set (660 data) with low MAE of 0.07 V and 0.18 eV, respectively. In this context, a self-developed data set, i.e., the oxidation potential (OP) of a full-space disubstituted phenol data set (OPP-data set, total set: 74,529), has been predicted by TransChem with a high-throughput, and active learning strategy. The rapid and reliable prediction of OP could hopefully accelerate the screening of plausible reagents in highly selective cross-coupling of phenol derivatives. This study presents an important attempt to guide language modeling with chemical knowledge, while TransChem demonstrates state-of-the-art (SOTA) predictive performance on redox potential prediction benchmark data sets for its better understanding of molecular design and conformational relationships.

Abstract
Electrochemical reactions via carbocation intermediates remain fundamental transformations that build up molecular functionality and complexity in a sustainable manner. Enantioselective control of such processes is a great challenge in a highly ionic electrolyte solution. Here, we report an anodic generation of chiral α-imino carbocation intermediates by enamine catalysis. The chiral carbocation intermediates can be intercepted by a variety of nucleophiles such as alcohols, water and thiols with high stereoselectivity. The key SN1 step proceeds via a tertiary amine-mediated proton shuttle that facilitates facial selection in reacting with carbocation.

Abstract
Aminocatalysis is a well-established tool that enables the production of enantioenriched compounds under mild conditions. Its versatility is underscored by its seamless integration with various synthetic approaches. While the combination of aminocatalysis with metal catalysis, photochemistry, and stoichiometric oxidants has been extensively explored, its synergy with electrochemical activation remains largely unexplored. Herein, we present the successful merger of electrochemistry and aminocatalysis to perform SOMO-type transformations, expanding the toolkit for asymmetric electrochemical synthesis. The methodology harnesses electricity to drive the oxidation of catalytically generated enamines, which ultimately partake in enantioselective radical processes, leading to α-alkylated aldehydes. Crucially, mechanistic studies highlight how this electrochemical strategy is enabled by the use of a redox shuttle, 4,4'-dimethoxybiphenyl, to prevent catalyst degradation and furnishing the coveted compounds in good yield and high enantioselectivity.

Abstract
We investigated antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of nitrogen-containing heterocycles and their acyclic analogues, some of which can be considered as promising in terms of biological activity. Based on structure, 26 tested compounds were divided into 4 groups. In the test with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), the compounds of the group 2 had the highest radical-binding activity (RBA) (53-78%), while those of group 3 had the lowest values (1.5-5.2%). In oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay, all compounds from groups 1, 2 and 3 showed high RBA: 44-94% at 50 µM. The highest bacteriostatic activity against Escherichia coli was found for four compounds in group 2 (MIC = 0.25-1 mM) and low bacteriostatic activity for group 3 (MIC > 4 mM). Some relationships between the structure of compounds and the values of the MIC are revealed. It was also found that four substances from different groups had the ability to inhibit the formation of colonies in E. coli from 1.3 to 5.7 times. Four compounds reduced specific biofilm formation by 40-60%. The tested substances did not induce the expression of the sulA gene controlled by the SOS system, which indicates the lack of genotoxic activity. None of the tested compounds had pro-oxidant activity. This was shown by both the absence of production hydrogen peroxide in a bacteria-free medium and inability to induce expression of the katG gene encoding HPI catalase in growing E. coli. The data obtained could be useful in the development of new drugs.

Abstract
ConspectusSynergistic catalysis is a powerful tool that involves two or more distinctive catalytic systems to activate reaction partners simultaneously, thereby expanding the reactivity space of individual catalysis. As an established catalytic strategy, organocatalysis has found numerous applications in enantioselective transformations under rather mild conditions. Recently, the introduction of other catalytic systems has significantly expanded the reaction space of typical organocatalysis. In this regard, aminocatalysis is a prototypical example of synergistic catalysis. The combination of aminocatalyst and transition metal could be traced back to the early days of organocatalysis and has now been well explored as an enabling catalytic strategy. Particularly, the acid-base properties of aminocatalysis can be significantly expanded to include usually electrophiles generated in situ via metal-catalyzed cycles. Later on, aminocatalyst has also been exploited in synergistically combining with photochemical and electrochemical processes to facilitate redox transformations. However, synergistically combining one type of aminocatalyst with many different catalytic systems remains a great challenge. One of the most daunting challenges is the compatibility of aminocatalysts in coexistence with other catalytic species. As nucleophilic species, aminocatalysts may also bind with metal, which leads to mutual inhibition or even quenching of the individual catalytic activity. In addition, oxidative stability of aminocatalyst is also a non-neglectable issue, which causes difficulties in exploring oxidative enamine transformations.In 2007, we developed a vicinal diamine type of chiral primary aminocatalysts. This class of primary aminocatalysts was developed and evolved as functional and mechanistic mimics to the natural aldolase and has been widely applied in a number of enamine/iminium ion-based transformations. By following a "1 + x" synergistic strategy, the chiral primary amine catalysts were found to work synergistically or cooperatively with a number of transition metal catalysts, such as Pd, Rh, Ag, Co, and Cu, or other organocatalysts, such as B(C6F5)3, ketone, selenium, and iodide. Photocatalysis and electrochemical processes can also be incorporated to work together with the chiral primary amine catalysts. The 1 + x catalytic strategy enabled us to execute unexploited transformations by fine-tuning the acid-base and redox properties of the enamine intermediates and to achieve effective reaction and stereocontrol beyond the reach individually. During these efforts, an unprecedented excited-state chemistry of enamine was uncovered to make possible an effective deracemization process. In this Account, we describe our recent efforts since 2015 in exploring synergistic chiral primary amine catalysis, and the content is categorized according to the type of synergistic partner such that in each section the developed synergistic catalysis, reaction scopes, and mechanistic features are presented and discussed.

Abstract
The direct alkenylation with simple alkenes stands out as the most ideal yet challenging strategy for obtaining high-valued desaturated alkanes. Here we present a direct asymmetric dehydrogenative α-C(sp3)-H alkenylation of carbonyls based on synergistic photoredox-cobalt-chiral primary amine catalysis under visible light. The ternary catalytic system enables the direct coupling of β-keto-carbonyls and alkenes through a cooperative radical addition-dehydrogenation process involving a chiral α-imino radical and Co(II)-metalloradical intermediate. A catalytic H-transfer process involving nitrobenzene is engaged to quench in situ generated cobalt hydride species, ensuring a chemoselective alkenylation in good yields and high enantioselectivities.

Abstract
Imidazolidine-4-thiones (ITOs) are cyclic, secondary amines that were considered as potential prebiotic organocatalysts for light-driven α-alkylations of aldehydes by bromoacetonitrile (BAN). Recent studies showed that the initially supplied ITOs represent the pre-catalyst because they undergo S-alkylation with BAN to give 4-(alkylthio)-3-imidazolines (TIMs). Given that the same reagent mix that undergoes light-driven α-alkylations is also effective in the dark, we synthesized ten ITO- or TIM-derived enamines of aldehydes and characterized their nucleophilic reactivities by kinetic studies in acetonitrile. The experimental second-order rate constants k2 for reactions of enamines with benzhydrylium ions (reference electrophiles) were evaluated by the Mayr-Patz equation, lg k2 (20 °C)=sN (N+E). The determined nucleophilicities N (and sN ) reveal the reactivity profiles of these enamines under prebiotically relevant conditions as well as their potential for use in organocatalytic synthesis.

A novel one-pot two-step multicomponent reaction has been achieved for the preparation of β-CF3 enamines by using different aliphatic amines, propiolates, and CF3 SO2 Na as starting material. In this protocol, various aliphatic amines including primary amines, cyclic or acyclic secondary amines were demonstrated to be good coupling partners, and different β-CF3 enamines were obtained in moderate to good yields. Among them, the primary aliphatic amines only gave pure (E)-β-CF3 enamines as products. The synthetic utility of the MCRs strategy was further demonstrated by mild conditions, gram-scale synthesis and natural sunlight-induced protocol. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that this trifluoromethylation of C(sp2 )-H involves radical process.

Abstract
Efficiently generating intricate molecular complexity is a coveted goal in organic synthesis. This can be realized through the implementation of inventive and audacious strategies coupled with the exploration and advancement of novel molecular reactivity pathways. Herein, we present a concise two-step synthesis of a high-oxidation state heterotrimeric securinega alkaloid, suffranidine B, from 2,3-dehydroallosecurinine and the vinylogous ketoaldehyde compound derived from kojic acid. Key to the success was the astute selection of appropriate acids during both the heterotrimerization and the desymmetrizing cyclization steps. This study underscores the value of biomimicry in the synthesis of complex natural products.

Abstract
We developed a simple and sustainable method for the hydroxy-perfluoroalkylation of electron-deficient conjugated olefins and styrenes. In this protcol, in situ generated enamine forms electron-donor-accepter (EDA) complexes with perfluoroalkyl iodide, and reaction proceed with visible-light irradiation. Tertiary amine also interacts with perfluoroalkyl iodide via halogen-bonding, promoting the perfluoroalkyl radical generation. This reaction does not require any transition-metal or photoredox catalyst, and gaseous oxygen is used as the green hydroxy source. Moreover, various commercially available substrates and perfluoroalkyl iodides were tolerated, affording the desired hydroxy-perfluoroalkylated products in good to moderate yields (>50 examples, up to 90%).

Abstract
The hemicyanine hybrid containing the 7-(diethylamino)coumarin (ACou) donor attached to the cationic indolenium (Ind) acceptor through a vinyl linkage (ACou-Ind) represents a classic ratiometric fluorescent probe for detecting nucleophilic analytes, such as cyanide and reactive sulfur species (RSS), through addition reactions that disrupt dye conjugation to turn off red internal charge transfer (ICT) fluorescence and turn on blue coumarin emission. The chemosensing mechanism for RSS detection by ACou-Ind suggested in the literature has now been revised. Our studies demonstrate that thiolates react with ACou-Ind through conjugate addition to afford C4-SR adducts that lack coumarin fluorescence due to photoinduced electron transfer quenching by the electron-rich enamine intermediate. Thus, ACou-Ind serves as a turn-off probe through loss of red ICT fluorescence upon RSS addition. The literature also suggests that blue coumarin emission of thiolate adducts is enhanced in the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to ROS-mediated cellular changes. Our studies predict that such a scenario is unlikely and that thiolate adducts undergo oxidative deconjugation in the presence of H2O2, the pervasive ROS. Under basic conditions, H2O2 also reacts directly with ACou-Ind to generate intense coumarin fluorescence through an epoxidation process. The relevance of our chemosensing mechanism for ACou-Ind was assessed within live zebrafish, and implications for the utility of ACou-Ind for unraveling the interplay between RSS and ROS are discussed.

Abstract
Herein, we report a transition metal-free, operationally simple, general method for straightforward syntheses of 2-substituted benzoxazoles from readily available cyclohexanones and aliphatic primary amines by an imine α-oxygenation-initiated cascade reaction sequence. The key to achieving high selectivity and excellent functional-group tolerance is the use of TEMPO as a mild oxidant that selectively oxidizes the reaction intermediates through its multiple reactivity modes, thus facilitating the individual steps to proceed in succession. More than 70 substrate combinations are disclosed, demonstrating the reliability of this protocol to synthesize structurally diverse products, including marketed drugs, drug candidate, and natural products that are unattainable by the existing methods.

Abstract
Catalytic deracemization of α-branched aldehydes is a direct strategy to construct enantiopure α-tertiary carbonyls, which are essential to pharmaceutical applications. Here, we report a photochemical E/Z isomerization strategy for the deracemization of α-branched aldehydes by using simple aminocatalysts and readily available photosensitizers. A variety of racemic α-branched aldehydes could be directly transformed into either enantiomer with high selectivity. Rapid photodynamic E/Z isomerization and highly stereospecific iminium/enamine tautomerization are two key factors that underlie the enantioenrichment. This study presents a distinctive photochemical E/Z isomerization strategy for externally tuning enamine catalysis.

Abstract
Energetics of reactive intermediates underlies their reactivity. The availability of these data provides a rational basis for understanding and predicting a chemical reaction. We reported here a comprehensive computational study on the energetics of enamine intermediates that are fundamental in carbonyl chemistry. Accurate density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to determine the bond energies of enamines and their derived radical intermediates. These efforts led to the compilation of a database of enamine energetics including a thermodynamic index such as free-energy stability, bond dissociation energy (BDE), and acid dissociation constant (pK a) as well as a kinetic index such as nucleophilicity and electrophilicity. These data were validated by relating to experimentally determined parameters and their relevance and utility were discussed in the context of modern enamine catalysis. It was found that pK a values of enamine radical cations correlated well with redox potentials of their parent enamines, the former could be used to rationalize the proton-transfer behavior of enamine radical cations. An analysis of the BDE of enamine radical cations indicated that these species underwent facile β-C-H hydrogen transfer, in line with the known oxidative enamine catalysis. The enamine energetics offers the possibility of a systematic evaluation of the reactivities of enamines and related radicals, which would provide useful guidance in exploring new enamine transformations.

Abstract
AbstractDue to its large bond energy, precisely controllable C–F bond activation is a significant challenge in organic synthesis. A single C(sp3)–F bond transformation of perfluoroalkyl groups is particularly desirable to supply functionalized perfluoroalkyl compounds offering properties that are potentially useful in pharmaceutical and materials chemistry. Recently, the single defluorinative transformation of perfluoroalkyl compounds has been developed via visible-light photocatalysis. Herein, we summarize this field via two main topics. Topic 1 covers the transformations of C(sp3)–F bonds in either perfluoroalkylarenes or perfluoroalkane carbonyl compounds via a defluorinative spin-center shift in the radical anion intermediates. Topic 2 addresses the defluorinative transformations of α-trifluoromethyl alkenes to give gem-difluoroalkenes via a radical/polar crossover process.1 Introduction2 C(sp3)–F Transformations via Defluorinative Spin-Center Shifts3 C(sp3)–F Transformations via a Radical/Polar Crossover Process4 Conclusions

Abstract
In this study, the photosensitive nature of reactive enamine and polyenamine intermediates is investigated to improve our understanding of light-mediated aminocatalytic reactions. Experimental optical absorption data and TD-DFT calculations reveal that these intermediates are excited directly from the HOMO on the enamine moiety to low-lying unoccupied orbitals localized on the catalyst scaffold. This indicates that the photophysical properties of enamine intermediates can be tuned for visible light-mediated reactions by modifications to the aminocatalyst.

Abstract
A novel method for the concise synthesis of cyclohepta[b]indoles in high yields was developed. The method involves a visible-light-induced, photocatalyzed [2+2]-cycloaddition/ retro-Mannich-type reaction of enaminones. Experimental and computational studies suggested that the reaction is a photoredox process initiated by single-electron oxidation of an enaminone moiety, which undergoes subsequent cyclobutane formation and rapidly fragmentation in a radical-cation state to form cyclohepta[b]indoles.

Abstract
Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs) are important motifs in contemporary drug design as linear spacer units that improve pharmacokinetic profiles. The synthesis of BCPs featuring adjacent stereocenters is highly challenging, but desirable due to the fundamental importance of 3D chemical space in medicinal chemistry. Current methods to access these high-value chiral molecules typically involve transformations of pre-formed BCPs, and can display limitations in substrate scope. Here we describe an approach to synthesize α-chiral BCPs involving the direct, asymmetric addition of simple aldehydes to [1.1.1]propellane, the predominant BCP precursor. This is achieved by combining a photocatalyst and an organocatalyst to generate a chiral α-iminyl radical cation intermediate, which installs a stereocenter simultaneously with ring-opening of [1.1.1]propellane. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, displays broad scope, and provides an array of α-chiral BCPs in high yield and enantioselectivity. We also present a theoretical model for stereoinduction in this mode of photoredox organocatalysis.

Abstract
The construction of a hybrid metal-organo-photoredox catalyst based on the conjugation of an imidazolidinone organocatalyst and Ir(ppy)2(bipy) (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine, bipy = bipyridine) is described. The introduction of the desired organocatalyst into the bipyridine moiety is quite modular, allowing the preparation of different hybrid photocatalysts, and is realized though a simple click reaction. The hybrid photocatalysts obtained were employed in the benchmark photoredox alkylation of aldehydes. Remarkably, the conjugation of a first-generation MacMillan catalyst produces an active and stereoselective hybrid photoredox catalyst.
