Abstract:
A three-component reductive coupling reaction of aldehydes, amines and cyanopyridines under electrochemical conditions has been developed. The in situ generated imine and cyanopyridine simultaneously undergo single-electron reduction at the cathode, and afford diarylmethylamines through radical coupling without the participation of reducing agents. The one-pot electrolysis method can modularly obtain various secondary and tertiary amines and exhibits broad functional group compatibility. Mechanistic experiments verify the pivotal reduction step from imine to α-amino radical and reveal the key role of benzoic acid in reducing the reduction potential of imine and cyanopyridine.
