Abstract
Hydroxylamines are found in biologically active compounds and serve as building blocks for the preparation of nitrogen-containing molecules. Here the direct conversion of carboxylic acids into the corresponding alkylhydroxylamines using organo-photoredox catalysis is reported. The process relies in the generation of alkyl radicals via photoinduced oxidation-decarboxylation and their following reaction with nitrosoarenes. We have successfully applied this method to the late-stage modification of complex and biologically active acids and applied it in novel radical cascade processes.

Key words
hydroxylamines - radical addition - nitrosoarenes - late-stage functionalization - radical cascade - photoredoxHydroxylamines and their derivatives are a privileged class of compounds with applications spanning from active pharmaceutical ingredients and agrochemicals to versatile building blocks for the synthesis of complex molecules (Scheme [1], A).[1] Despite this relevance, their preparation can still be troublesome and the development of novel strategies able to selectively introduce the hydroxylamine functionality on structurally complex molecules under mild reaction conditions is a relevant goal.

Visible-light photoredox catalysis is now an established and powerful technique to perform single-electron transfer (SET)[2] reactions under mild conditions.[3] In particular, the ability of harvesting carboxylic acids for the generation of sp3-C-radicals by oxidative decarboxylation has enabled the development of many C–C and C–X (X = F, N3, S…) bond-forming processes.[4]
Owing to our ongoing interest in the preparation of hydroxylamine derivatives as nitrogen-radical precursors,[5] we wondered if a visible-light-mediated protocol for their direct assembly from simple feedstock chemicals could be developed. In particular, we were interested in the possibility of using carboxylic acids as source of sp3-C-radicals and to exploit them in the reaction with nitrosoarenes.[6] Such an approach would be complementary to the more established ionic pathways where nitrosoarenes are used as electrophiles in conjunction with organometallic reagents,[7] enolates,[8] and enamine[9]/NHC[10]-based catalytic systems (Scheme [1], B).[11] Furthermore, the preparation of hydroxylamines via radical addition onto nitrosoarenes has been considerably overlooked and only few protocols are available.[12] Most notably, de Alaniz[13] and Selander[14] have recently developed Cu(II)-catalyzed protocols for the coupling of nitrosoarenes with radical deriving from α-bromocarbonyls and sodium triflinate, respectively (Scheme [1], C).
In this paper, we describe the development of the first approach for the generation of hydroxylamines from readily available carboxylic acids and its use in the functionalization of complex and biologically active molecules (Scheme [1], D).
At the outset, we envisioned a catalytic cycle starting with the visible-light-promoted excitation of a photocatalyst and the following oxidative SET decarboxylation of acid A upon in situ deprotonation A → B (Scheme [2], A).[4] This step would deliver the C-radical C that would react with a nitrosoarene D forging the required C–N bond and delivering the persistent nitroxyl radical E.[15] At this point, we speculated that the final hydroxylamine G could be obtained by reductive SET of E with the reduced photoredox catalyst (to give F) and protonation.

In order to obtain information regarding the feasibility of our proposed process, preliminary DFT studies were conducted (Scheme [2], B). We were in fact concerned about the potential addition of the C-radical at both the N (path a – to give E) and the O atom (path b – to give H) of the nitrosoarene, an issue frequently encountered in ionic processes.[7a] [8c] We started by characterizing nitrosobenzene I in terms of electron donor properties by calculating its adiabatic ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA), and absolute electronegativity (χDB).[16] These values are in line with I being a competent radical acceptor. The preferred site of radical attack was then assessed by calculating the N and O atom Mulliken spin densities (MSDs) in the triplet state (ππ*).[16] According to this study, I should display a slight preference for the reaction at the N-atom owing to its higher MSD. Further support for this reactivity was obtained upon determination of the activation parameters for the reaction of I with the adamantyl radical J (nucleophilic radical; ω+rc = 0.34).[17] According to our study both radical pathways ( a : attack at the N-atom and b : attack at the O-atom) are very exergonic but there is a slight preference for path a , which would support our proposed process.[16] The very low |δTS| values also indicate that these radical additions are not influenced very much by polar effects in the transition state and should be predominantly enthalpy controlled.[18]
To assess our working hypothesis, the reaction of adamantane carboxylic acid (1a) and nitrosobenzene was investigated using various photoredox catalysts (Figure [1]) and bases in CH2Cl2 (0.05 M) at room temperature. As illustrated in Table [1], we were pleased to find out that using mesityl acridinium perchlorate 2a (Fukuzumi’s acridinium, E*1/2 = +2.06 V vs SCE)[19] as the photoredox catalyst and Cs2CO3 as the base under blue LEDs irradiation, the product 3a was obtained in good yield (Table [1], entry 1). We then changed the stoichiometry of the reaction (entries 2–4) and found out that a slight excess of nitrosobenzene (2.0 equiv with respect to 1a) was optimum, providing 3a in 90% yield (entry 3). Other bases were evaluated and while K2CO3 gave 3a in a useful 62% yield (entry 5); 2,6-lutidine was not compatible and completely suppressed the reactivity (entry 6). We also tried to run the reaction under more concentrated conditions (entries 7 and 8) but this was detrimental. Other photocatalysts 2b–d were screened but they generally provided 3a in considerably lower efficiency (if any) (entries 9–11). Lastly, control experiments confirmed the requirement for base, light, and 2a (entries 12–14).

With the optimized reaction conditions in hand, the scope of the process using nitrosobenzene and a series of structurally different carboxylic acids was evaluated (Scheme [3]). In general, tertiary carboxylic acids worked well and provided the desired hydroxylamines 3b–g in good yields. This approach tolerated several functional groups like alkyl halides, terminal olefins, carbamates and was effective for accessing C-3 and C-4 aminopiperidines, which are a frequent structural motif in many commercially available drugs (e.g., the antidiabetic alogliptin and the opioid analgesic sufentanil). Secondary carboxylic acids were tried next but unfortunately the use of a secondary mono-benzylic 3h and a primary alkylic 3i was not possible, thus representing the limitation of the strategy. Lastly, we evaluated the use of functionalized nitrosoarenes in conjunction with adamantine carboxylic acid (1a) and found them compatible. Both electron-rich 3j and ortho-substituted 3k derivatives reacted well. Substrates containing an electron-withdrawing CF3-group 3l could also be employed, albeit in lower yield.

We were particularly keen in showcasing the utility of the methodology by using high-value and structurally complex carboxylic acids in order to provide access to the corresponding hydroxylamines. As reported in Scheme [3], this approach was successfully used to modify the blockbuster drug gemfibrozil (1j → 3m), which is used to lower lipid levels. Furthermore, we were able to selectively introduce the hydroxylamine functionality on the core of the highly complex hepatoprotective oleanoic acid (1k → 3n) and the antiulcer drug enoxolone (1l → 3o). Overall, these examples show that the methodology can be used as a late-stage modification techniques, which tolerates redox active functionalities such as electron rich aromatics (which could undergo SET oxidation), enones (which can be photo-excited upon visible-light irradiation as demonstrated by Lectka)[20] as well as free hydroxyl groups.
We then decided to evaluate if this radical decarboxylative process could be part of a cascade sequence leading to the concomitant formation of two C–N bond across an olefin. We have recently developed a divergent photoredox imino-functionalization strategy for the assembly of polyfunctionalized pyrroline-based heterocycles.[5b] Specifically, we envisaged a cascade process starting with the SET oxidation-fragmentation of the oxime M (Scheme [4]). This would deliver an iminyl radical O (M → N → O) that would undergo fast 5-exo-trig cyclization resulting in the C-radical P. At this point, radical attack onto the nitrosoarene and SET reduction and protonation of the persistent nitroxyl radical Q would enable the formation of R. Also in this case, we have evaluated the key radical reaction between nitrosobenzene I and the Ph-dimethyl-substituted C-radical S (to give T) by DFT and found it feasible.[16]

The implementation of this strategy was assessed using the oxime 6a, which was prepared by condensation of the ketone 4 with commercially available 2-(aminooxy)-2-methylpropanoic acid (5) on a gram-scale (Scheme [5]).

As illustrated in Table [2], we were pleased to find out that by irradiating (blue LEDs) a solution of 6a and nitrosobenzene (1:2) using 2a as the photoredox catalyst, Cs2CO3 as the base in CH2Cl2 (0.1 M), the product 7a was obtained in 48% (Table [2], entry 1). In this case however, increasing the amount of nitrosobenzene with respect to 6a was detrimental (entries 2 and 3) and eventually a ratio of 1:1.1 (entry 4) and a reaction concentration of 0.05 M were identified to be optimum for this transformation (entry 5). Also in this case control experiments confirmed the requirement for base, 2a, and blue LEDs for irradiation (entries 6–8).
a The reaction was run in the dark.
b The reaction was run without 2a.
c The reaction was run without Cs2CO3.
With this optimized conditions in hand, other iminyl radical precursors were tested (Scheme [6]). We were able to engage substrate containing pyridine 6b and ester 6c functionalities giving access to pyrrolines 7b and 7c that can be used for the preparation of nicotine and proline analogues. Interestingly, in this case we were able to engage a secondary α-ester radical 7d in the cascade cyclization-functionalization reaction.

Other nitrosoarenes were compatible with the process as shown by the formation of products 7a–h in good to moderate yields. Also in this case, the use of highly electron poor nitrosoarene 7i as well as the trapping primary C-radicals (e.g., following cyclization onto a terminal olefin 7j) was not possible representing the limit of the strategy. Overall, this cascade process generates molecules containing two nitrogen functionalities, imine and hydroxylamines, which can be orthogonally functionalized and further modified.
In conclusion we have developed a photoredox decarboxylative approach for the formation of hydroxylamines and demonstrated its application in late-stage functionalizations and radical imino-hydroxylamination cascades.
All required fine chemicals were used directly without purification, unless stated otherwise. All air and moisture sensitive reactions were carried out under N2 atmosphere using standard Schlenk manifold technique. 1H and 13C NMR spectra (abbreviations: M = major; m = minor) were acquired at various field strengths as indicated and were referenced to CHCl3(7.27 and 77.0 ppm for 1H and 13C, respectively). High-resolution mass spectra were obtained using a JEOL JMS-700 spectrometer or a Fissions VG Trio 2000 quadrupole mass spectrometer. Spectra were obtained using electron impact ionization (EI) and chemical ionization (CI) techniques, or positive electrospray (ES). IR spectra were recorded using a JASCO FT/IR 410 spectrophotometer or using an ATI Mattson Genesis Seris FTIR spectrometer as evaporated films or liquid films. Flash column chromatography was performed using Merck Silica Gel 60 (40–63 μm). All the reactions were conducted in CEM 10 mL glass microwave tube using the EvoluChem PhotoRedOx Box.
The syntheses of the precursor ketones and oximes 6a–e are described in the Supporting Information.

Hydroxylamines 3a–o; General Procedure 1 (GP1)
A dry tube equipped with a stirring bar was charged with the carboxylic acid 1a–l (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), 2a (4.0 mg, 10 μmol, 5 mol%), Cs2CO3 (66 mg, 0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv), and the requisite nitrosoarene (0.4 mmol, 2.0 equiv). The tube was capped with a Supelco aluminum crimp seal with septum (PTFE/butyl) and it was evacuated and refilled with N2(3 ×). CH2Cl2 (anhydrous and degassed by bubbling through with N2 for 20 min; 4.0 mL) was added. The N2 inlet was then removed and the cap sealed with parafilm. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 1 h in front of blue LEDs. The tube was opened to air and the mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (5 mL) and brine (5 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 5 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel gave 3a–o.

Hydroxylamines 7; General Procedure 2 (GP2)
A dry tube equipped with a stirring bar was charged with the carboxylic acid 6a–d (0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv), 2a (2.0 mg, 5 μmol, 5 mol%), Cs2CO3 (33 mg, 0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv), and the requisite nitrosoarene (0.11 mmol, 1.1 equiv). The tube was capped with a Supelco aluminum crimp seal with septum (PTFE/butyl) and it was evacuated and refilled with N2(3 ×). CH2Cl2 (anhydrous and degassed by bubbling through with N2 for 20 min) (2.0 mL) was added. The N2 inlet was then removed and the cap sealed with parafilm. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 1 h in front of blue LEDs. The tube was opened to air and the mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (5 mL) and brine (5 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 5 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel gave 7a–h.
