N-heterocycles are privileged pharmaceutical scaffolds in drug discovery and development. We disclose here divergent intermolecular coupling strategies that can access diverse N-heterocycles directly from olefins. The radical-to-polar mechanistic switching is key for the divergent cyclization processes. These distinctive annulations result in the coupling of alkenes with simple bifunctional reagents for divergent N-heterocycle syntheses.
杂环是药物发现和开发中的重要药物骨架。我们在这里公开了不同的分子间偶联策略,可以直接从烯烃中获得不同的杂环。自由基到极性的机理转换是发散环化过程的关键。这些独特的环化反应导致烯烃与简单双功能试剂的偶联,从而实现杂环的发散合成。
