An efficient and practical electrochemical method for selective reduction of cyclic imides has been developed using a simple undivided cell with carbon electrodes at room temperature. The reaction provides a useful strategy for the rapid synthesis of hydroxylactams and lactams in a controllable manner, which is tuned by electric current and reaction time, and exhibits broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance even to reduction-sensitive moieties. Initial mechanistic studies suggest that the approach heavily relies on the utilization of amines (e.g., i-Pr2NH), which are able to generate α-aminoalkyl radicals. This protocol provides an efficient route for the cleavage of C-O bonds under mild conditions with high chemoselectivity.

An alkoxide-catalyzed hydrosilylation of cyclic imides to isoquinolines was realized via tandem reduction and rearrangement. Using TMSOK as the catalyst and (EtO)2MeSiH as the reductant, a series of cyclic imides containing different functional groups were reduced to the corresponding 3-aryl isoquinolines in moderate to good yields. The scenario of the reaction pathway was supposed to involve the reduction of imides to ω-hydroxylactams, which underwent rearrangement in the presence of a base catalyst, and then the carbonyl reduction, followed by siloxy elimination.

Cyclic imides were selectively reduced to the corresponding ω-hydroxylactams in high yields with (EtO)3SiH (triethoxysilane) or PMHS (polymethylhydrosiloxane) under catalysis of zinc diacetate dehydrate [Zn(OAc)2 2H2O] (10%) and tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) (10%). This catalytic protocol showed good functional group tolerance as well as excellent regioselectivity for unsymmetrical imides bearing coordinating groups adjacent to the carbonyl.
