RT Journal Article T1 Copper-Catalyzed N-F Bond Activation for Uniform Intramolecular C-H Amination Yielding Pyrrolidines and Piperidines A1 Bafaluy, Daniel A1 Muñoz Molina, José María A1 Funes Ardoiz, Ignacio A1 Herold, Sebastian A1 Aguirre, Adiran J. de A1 Zhang, Hongwei A1 Maseras, Feliu A1 Rodríguez Belderraín, Tomás A1 Pérez Romero, Pedro José A1 Muñiz, Kilian AB The dual function of the N-F bond as an effective oxidant and subsequent nitrogen source in intramolecular aliphatic C-H functionalization reactions is explored. Copper catalysis is demonstrated to exercise full regio- and chemoselectivity control, which opens new synthetic avenues to nitrogenated heterocycles with predictable ring sizes. For the first time, a uniform catalysis manifold has been identified for the construction of both pyrrolidine and piperidine cores. The individual steps of this new copper oxidation catalysis were elucidated by control experiments and computational studies, clarifying the singularity of the N-F function and characterizing the catalytic cycle to be based on a copper(I/II) manifold.
