Photoinduced Three-Component Carboimination of Alkenes to Access γ-Aminobutyric Acid Derivatives
The remarkable biological activities of γ-aminobutyric acid derivatives (GABAs) spurred the exploration of green and efficient synthetic methods to construct these scaffolds. Herein, we have developed a catalyst-free photoinduced strategy for the redox-neutral three-component carboimination of alkenes, enabling efficient and modular assembly of a wide range of γ-aminobutyric acid derivatives. Mechanistic studies indicate that this reaction is initiated with an electron donor-acceptor complex between deprotonated malonates and O-aryl oximes. Furthermore, the resulting products could be further converted to functionalized γ-lactam derivatives through an acidic lactamization process.
