, p. 6620 - 6623 (2012)
The Stevens rearrangement of a nitrile-stabilized ammonium ylide is the key step of a very short and practical synthesis of the phenanthroindolizine alkaloid (±)-tylophorine. The method requires only five linear steps and is devoid of any protecting group manipulations.

Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel heterogeneous photo-catalyst by utilizing post-synthetic modification of an amine functionalized Zr(IV) metal-organic framework (UiO-66-NH2) through covalent hooking of EOSIN-Y via dehydrating coupling. The characterization of the catalyst was accomplished by FT-IR, XRD, BET surface analysis, TGA, as well as TEM, SEM, XPS, DRS-UV–visible, and NMR spectroscopy, confirming successful covalent linking of EOSIN-Y with the pendent –NH2 functionality in the framework. That post-modified EY@UiO-66-NH2 acts as simple and green visible light mediated photo-catalyst for the C–H activation of tertiary amines with excellent yields. Importantly, the activity of dye incorporated heterogeneous photo-catalyst is found superior to that for the homogeneous photo-catalyst EOSIN-Y. Thus, separation difficulty of homogeneous catalysis, as well as the environmental adverse effects of toxic EOSIN-Y can be excluded by developing such photo-catalyst. Moreover, EY@UiO-66-NH2 catalyst could be consistently recycled up to 10 cycles, without any significant loss in activity. Based on literature report and experimental findings, we also propose a plausible mechanism for the reaction.

Primary and secondary amines can be rapidly and quantitatively oxidized to the corresponding imines by singlet oxygen. This reactive form of oxygen was produced using a variable-temperature continuous-flow LED-photoreactor with a catalytic amount of tetraphenylporphyrin as the sensitizer. α- Aminonitriles were obtained in good to excellent yields when trimethylsilyl cyanide served as an insitu imine trap. At 25°C, primary amines were found to undergo oxidative coupling prior to cyanide addition and yielded secondary α-aminonitriles. Primary α-aminonitriles were synthesized from the corresponding primary amines for the first time, by an oxidative Strecker reaction at -50 °C. This atom-economic and protecting-group-free pathway provides a route to racemic amino acids, which was exemplified by the synthesis of tert-leucine hydrochloride from neopentylamine. The mild synthesis of imines paves the way to aminonitriles and amino acids. Aerobic oxidation of primary and secondary amines in a continuous photoreactor with singlet oxygen generated insitu led to the rapid formation of imines, which were quantitatively trapped as α-aminonitriles (see scheme; TMS=trimethylsilyl). Benzylic and primary α-aminonitriles, precursors for amino acids, could be efficiently produced in three minutes.
