Reported herein is the design of a photosensitization strategy to generate triplet nitrenes and its applicability for the intramolecular C-H amidation reactions. Substrate optimization by tuning physical organic parameters according to the proposed energy transfer pathway led us to identify hydroxamates as a convenient nitrene precursor. While more classical nitrene sources, representatively organic azides, were ineffective under the current photosensitization conditions, hydroxamates, which are readily available from alcohols or carboxylic acids, are highly efficient in accessing synthetically valuable 2-oxazolidinones and γ-lactams by visible light. Mechanism studies supported our working hypothesis that the energy transfer path is mainly operative.

We report the Ru-catalyzed enantioselective annulation of 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones to furnish γ-lactams in up to 97% yield and 98% ee via intramolecular carbonylnitrene C - H insertion. By employing chiral diphenylethylene diamine (dpen) as ligands bearing electron-withdrawing arylsulfonyl substituents, the reactions occur with remarkable chemo- and enantioselectivities; the competing Curtius-type rearrangement was largely suppressed. Enantioselective nitrene insertion to allylic/propargylic C - H bonds was also achieved with remarkable tolerance to the C=C and C=C bonds.

A new class of chiral ruthenium catalysts is introduced in which ruthenium is cyclometalated by two 7-methyl-1,7-phenanthrolinium heterocycles, resulting in chelating pyridylidene remote N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (rNHCs). The overall chirality results from a stereogenic metal center featuring either a or Δabsolute configuration. This work features the importance of the relative metal-centered stereochemistry. Only the non-C2-symmetric chiral-at-ruthenium complexes display unprecedented catalytic activity for the intramolecular C(sp3)-H amidation of 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones to provide chiral -lactams with up to 99:1 er and catalyst loadings down to 0.005 mol % (up to 11 ?200 TON), while the C2-symmetric diastereomer favors an undesired Curtius-type rearrangement. DFT calculations elucidate the origins of the superior C-H amidation reactivity displayed by the non-C2-symmetric catalysts compared to related C2-symmetric counterparts.
