Sakai, Kentaro published the artcileA Germanium Catalyst Accelerates the Photoredox α-C(sp3)-H Alkylation of Primary Amines, Name: Dimethyl itaconate, the publication is Organic Letters (2022), 24(18), 3325-3330, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
Site-selective C(sp3)-H functionalizations using photoredox catalysis (PC) and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis have received increasing attention. Here, a Ph2GeCl2 cocatalyst that greatly improves the yield of αC(sp3)-H alkylation of primary amines e.g., 3-phenylpropan-1-amine catalyzed by a PC-HAT hybrid system has been reported. The α-position of the amino group selectively reacted even when weaker C-H bonds existed in the substrates. This finding may help the design of a novel site-selective hybrid catalysis.
