Abstract

A strategy has been described to synthesize β,γ-diamino­ketones. This strategy is enabled by photoredox-catalyzed and nitrogen-centered radical-triggered cascade reactions of styrenes, enamides, and O-acylhydroxylamines in DMSO. Four bonds (one C–C, one C–N, and two C–O) are constructed in a single operation. Various functionalized vicinal diamines have been furnished by the radical relay reaction.
