Abstract
Intermolecular functionalization of tertiary C-H bonds to construct fully substituted stereogenic carbon centers represents a formidable challenge: without the assistance of directing groups, state-of-the-art catalysts struggle to introduce chirality to racemic tertiary sp 3 -carbon centers. Direct asymmetric functionalization of such centers is a worthy reactivity and selectivity goal for modern biocatalysis. Here we present an engineered nitrene transferase (P411-TEA-5274), derived from a bacterial cytochrome P450, that is capable of aminating tertiary C-H bonds to provide chiral α-tertiary primary amines with high efficiency (up to 2300 total turnovers) and selectivity (up to >99% enantiomeric excess (e.e.)). The construction of fully substituted stereocenters with methyl and ethyl groups underscores the enzyme's remarkable selectivity. A comprehensive substrate scope study demonstrates the biocatalyst's compatibility with diverse functional groups and tertiary C-H bonds. Mechanistic studies elucidate how active-site residues distinguish between the enantiomers and enable the enzyme to perform this transformation with excellent enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Synthetic chemistry plays an indispensable role in drug discovery, contributing to hit compounds identification, lead compounds optimization, candidate drugs preparation, and so on. As Nobel Prize laureate James Black emphasized, "the most fruitful basis for the discovery of a new drug is to start with an old drug"1. Late-stage modification or functionalization of drugs, natural products and bioactive compounds have garnered significant interest due to its ability to introduce diverse elements into bioactive compounds promptly. Such modifications alter the chemical space and physiochemical properties of these compounds, ultimately influencing their potency and druggability. To enrich a toolbox of chemical modification methods for drug discovery, this review focuses on the incorporation of halogen, oxygen, and nitrogen-the ubiquitous elements in pharmacophore components of the marketed drugs-through late-stage modification in recent two decades, and discusses the state and challenges faced in these fields. We also emphasize that increasing cooperation between chemists and pharmacists may be conducive to the rapid discovery of new activities of the functionalized molecules. Ultimately, we hope this review would serve as a valuable resource, facilitating the application of late-stage modification in the construction of novel molecules and inspiring innovative concepts for designing and building new drugs.

Abstract
This paper reports the first examples of ground state radical-mediated intramolecular C-H amination to afford 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines from N-2,4-dinitrophenoxy derivatives of arylpropylamines. Whereas the photoactivation of N-2,4-dinitrophenoxyamines for intermolecular reactions has been established, ground state chemistry provides the desired cyclization products in moderate to excellent yields using Ru(bpy)3Cl2 (42-95% yields) under acidic conditions under an air atmosphere.

Abstract
Regioselective C-H amination of simple arenes is highly desirable, but accessing meta-sites of ubiquitous arenes has proven challenging due to the lack of both electronic and spatial preference. This study demonstrates the successful use of various privileged nitrogen-containing functionalities found in pharmaceutical compounds to direct meta-C-H amination of arenes, overcoming the long-standing requirement for a redundant directing group. The remarkable advancements in functional group accommodation for precise regiochemical control were achieved through the discovery of an unprecedented organo-initiator and the strategic utilization of non-covalent interactions. This protocol has been successfully applied in the concise synthesis and late-stage derivatization of drug molecules, which would have been otherwise challenging to achieve.

Abstract
Direct amination of arene C-H bonds is an attractive disconnection to form aniline-derived building blocks. This transformation presents significant practical challenges; classical methods for ortho-selective amination require strongly acidic or forcing conditions, while contemporary catalytic processes often require bespoke directing groups and/or precious metal catalysis. We report a mild and procedurally straightforward ortho-selective amination of arene carboxylic acids, arising from a facile rearrangement of acyl O-hydroxylamines without requiring precious metal catalysts. A broad scope of benzoic acid substrates are compatible and the reaction can be applied to longer chain arene carboxylic acids. Mechanistic studies probe the specific requirement for trifluoroacetic acid in generating the active aminating agent, and suggest that two separate mechanisms may be operating in parallel in the presence of an iron catalyst: (i) an iron-nitrenoid intermediate and (ii) a radical chain pathway. Regardless of which mechanism is followed, high ortho selectivity is obtained, proposed to arise from the directivity (first) or attractive interactions (second) arising with the carboxylic acid motif.

Abstract
A hydroxylamine-derived electrophilic aminating reagent produces a transient and bulky aminium radical intermediate upon in situ activation by either TMSOTf or TFA and a subsequent electron transfer from an iron(II) catalyst. Density functional theory calculations were used to examine the regioselectivity of arene C-H amination reactions on diversely substituted arenes. The calculations suggest a simple charge-controlled regioselectivity model that enables prediction of the major C(sp2)-H amination product.

Abstract
β-Arylethylamines are prevalent structural motifs in molecules exhibiting biological activity. Here we report a sequential one-pot protocol for the 1,2-aminoarylation of alkenes with hydroxylammonium triflate salts and (hetero)arenes. Unlike existing methods, this reaction provides a direct entry to unprotected β-arylethylamines with remarkable functional group tolerance, allowing key drug-oriented functional groups to be installed in a two-step process. The use of hexafluoroisopropanol as a solvent in combination with an iron(II) catalyst proved essential to reaching high-value nitrogen-containing molecules.

Abstract
Recent progress on catalytic nitrene transfer reactions with hydroxylamine derivatives as prevalent precursors is summarized in this highlight. The salient features of these N-O derived nitrene transfer reagents are that they are readily available, bench-stable, and can be facilely activated by a range of transition metal-catalysts under mild conditions. The application of these reagents in transition metal-catalysis has led to many new amidation or amination reactions, such as C-H insertions and aziridination of olefins. These reagents have also been applied in difunctionalisation of unsaturated bonds, dearomative amination of indoles, and formation of N-X bonds. Moreover, the recent achievements in photocatalysis and enzyme catalysis further emphasize the importance of these appealing reagents. This highlight provides an overview of these reactions reported in recent years. Challenges and potential opportunities for future developments are also discussed.

Abstract
Electrophilic aminating reagents have seen a renaissance in recent years as effective nitrogen sources for the synthesis of unprotected amino functionalities. Based on their reactivity, several noble and non-noble transition metal catalysed amination reactions have been developed. These include the aziridination and difunctionalisation of alkenes, the amination of arenes as well as the synthesis of aminated sulfur compounds. In particular, the use of hydroxylamine-derived (N-O) reagents, such as PONT (PivONH3OTf), has enabled the introduction of unprotected amino groups on various different feedstock compounds, such as alkenes, arenes and thiols. This strategy obviates undesired protecting-group manipulations and thus improves step efficiency and atom economy. Overall, this feature article gives a recent update on several reactions that have been unlocked by employing versatile hydroxylamine-derived aminating reagents, which facilitate the generation of unprotected primary, secondary and tertiary amino groups.

Abstract
Ortho‐sulfonyl anilines are important building blocks for a range of applications. We report the discovery of an aromatic rearrangement reaction of O‐(arenesulfonyl)hydroxylamines which leads directly to ortho‐sulfonyl anilines through formation of a new C−N bond with excellent levels of regiocontrol for the ortho position(s) over all others. We establish that the rearrangement is proceeding through an intermolecular mechanism and propose that the regiocontrol observed is the result of attractive non‐covalent interactions occurring during the C−N bond‐forming step. Importantly, this method is complementary to classical aniline sulfonation in terms of the variously substituted regioisomers that can be obtained and it is also applicable to O‐(benzylsulfonyl) hydroxylamines.

Abstract
The chemistry of nitrogen-centered radicals (NCRs) has plentiful applications in organic synthesis, and they continue to expand as our understanding of these reactive species increases. The utility of these reactive intermediates is demonstrated in the recent advances in C-H amination and the (di)amination of alkenes. Synthesis of previously challenging structures can be achieved by efficient functionalization of sp2 moieties without prefunctionalization, allowing for faster and more streamlined synthesis. This Review addresses the generation, reactivity, and application of NCRs, including, but not limited to, iminyl, aminyl, amidyl, and aminium species. Contributions from early discovery up to the most recent examples have been highlighted, covering radical initiation, thermolysis, photolysis, and, more recently, photoredox catalysis. Radical-mediated intermolecular amination of (hetero)arenes can occur with a variety of complex amine precursors, generating aniline derivatives, an important class of structures for drug discovery and development. Functionalization of olefins is achievable in high anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity and allows access to difunctionalized structures when the intermediate carbon radicals are trapped. Additionally, the reactivity of NCRs can be harnessed for the rapid construction of N-heterocycles such as pyrrolidines, phenanthridines, quinoxalines, and quinazolinones.

Abstract
AbstractVarious nitro azaheterocyclic compounds were subjected to C–H amination by vicarious nucleophilic substitution with 4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-amine (ATA). The aminated products were characterized by NMR, mass spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The substrates examined gave moderate to excellent yields (30–88%) and showed good regioselectivities. This protocol offers the advantages of mild conditions, a short reaction time (2–4 hours), and an inexpensive, commercially available, and less-toxic amination reagent; moreover, no additional catalyst or reagent is needed. A possible reaction mechanism is discussed.

Abstract
Isoxazolidin-5-ones have been regarded as β-amino acid surrogates owing to their labile N-O bond. While many efforts have been devoted to the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of the core of this heterocycle, its further transformation has been less explored, especially in the context of catalysis. This review summarizes the author's research on the development of catalytic reactions using isoxazolidin-5-ones as substrates. Asymmetric catalysis has proven effective for C-C bond formation at the carbonyl α-carbon. Catalytic asymmetric allylation and direct Mannich-type reactions have been developed. Further, the resulting products have been readily converted into the corresponding quaternary β2,2-amino acids. Moreover, isoxazolidin-5-ones have been identified as alkyl nitrene precursors in the presence of a suitable metal catalyst. The generated metallonitrene undergoes either the electrophilic amination of the aromatic ring or aliphatic C-H insertion, affording a series of cyclic β-amino acids. A remarkable difference in chemoselectivity between rhodium and copper alkyl nitrenes has also been demonstrated, highlighting the unique nature of the underexplored reactive intermediates. The various linear and cyclic β-amino acids obtained through the study are likely to find great utility in a broad range of chemical sciences.

Abstract
Despite the widespread use of anilines, synthetic challenges to these targets still exist. Selectivity is often an issue, when using the traditional nitration-reduction sequence or more modern approaches, including arene C-H aminations catalyzed by transition metals, photosensitizers, or electrodes. Accordingly, there is still a need for general methods to rapidly, directly access specific isomers of substituted anilines. Here, we report a simple route towards the synthesis of such motifs starting from benzyl alcohols, which are converted to anilines by the use of arylsulfonyl hydroxylamines, via an aza-Hock rearrangement. Good to excellent yields are observed. The method is applicable to various benzyl alcohol surrogates (such as ethers, esters, and halides) as well as simple alkylarenes. Functionalizations of pharmaceutically relevant structures are feasible under the reaction conditions. Over ten amination reagents can be used, which facilitates the rapid assembly of a vast set of compounds.

Abstract
A catalyst-free method for the preparation of 1,4,2-dithiazoles is developed by reactions of isothiocyanates with hydroxylamine triflic acid salts. This reaction achieves C-S, C-N, and S-N bond formation, and a range of products are obtained in moderate to good yields. The obvious feature is using shelf-stable hydroxylamine triflic acid salts as a N source to synthesize heterocycles under mild conditions.

Abstract
![]()
The
formation of arene C–N bonds directly from C–H
bonds is of great importance and there has been rapid recent development
of methods for achieving this through radical mechanisms, often involving
reactive N-centered radicals. A major challenge associated
with these advances is that of regiocontrol, with mixtures of regioisomeric
products obtained in most protocols, limiting broader utility. We
have designed a system that utilizes attractive noncovalent interactions
between an anionic substrate and an incoming radical cation in order
to guide the latter to the arene ortho position.
The anionic substrate takes the form of a sulfamate-protected aniline
and telescoped cleavage of the sulfamate group after amination leads
directly to ortho-phenylenediamines, key building
blocks for a range of medicinally relevant diazoles. Our method can
deliver both free amines and monoalkyl amines allowing access to unsymmetrical,
selectively monoalkylated benzimidazoles and benzotriazoles. As well
as providing concise access to valuable ortho-phenylenediamines,
this work demonstrates the potential for utilizing noncovalent interactions
to control positional selectivity in radical reactions.

Abstract
Classical amination methods involve the reaction of a nitrogen nucleophile with an electrophilic carbon center; however, in recent years, umpoled strategies have gained traction where the nitrogen source acts as an electrophile. A wide range of electrophilic aminating agents are now available, and these underpin a range of powerful C−N bond‐forming processes. In this Review, we highlight the strategic use of electrophilic aminating agents in total synthesis.

Despite the apparent strategic clarity, intramolecular C-H aminations with metallonitrenes have only sporadically been explored in this direction because of the intractability of the requisite alkyl nitrenes. Here, we report copper-catalysed intramolecular amination using an alkyl nitrene generated from substituted isoxazolidin-5-ones upon N-O bond cleavage. The copper catalysis exclusively aminates aromatic C(sp2)-H bonds among other potentially reactive groups, offering a solution to the chemoselectivity problem that has been troublesome with rhodium catalysis. A combined experimental and computational study suggested that the active species in the current cyclic β-amino acid synthesis is a dicopper alkyl nitrene, which follows a cyclisation pathway distinct from the analogous alkyl metallonitrene.

Abstract
We report both an intermolecular C-H amination of arenes to access N-methylanilines and an intramolecular variant for the synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines. A newly developed, highly electrophilic aminating reagent was key for the direct synthesis of unprotected N-methylanilines from simple arenes. The reactions display a broad functional group tolerance and employ catalytic amounts of a benign iron salt under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
An iron catalyzed reaction for the selective transformation of thiols (-SH) to sulfinamides (-SONH2 ) by a direct transfer of -O and free -NH2 groups has been developed. The reaction operates under mild conditions using a bench stable hydroxylamine derived reagent, exhibits broad functional group tolerance, is scalable and proceeds without the use of any precious metal catalyst or additional oxidant. This novel, practical reaction leads to the formation of two distinct new bonds (S=O and S-N) in a single step to chemoselectively form valuable, unprotected sulfinamide products. Preliminary mechanistic studies implicate the role of the alcoholic solvent as an oxygen atom donor.

Abstract
Aminium radical cations have been extensively studied as electrophilic aminating species that readily participate in C─N bond forming processes with alkenes and arenes. However, their utility in synthesis has been limited, as their generation required unstable, reactive starting materials and harsh reaction conditions. Visible-light photoredox catalysis has emerged as a platform for the mild production of aminium radical cations from either unfunctionalized or N-functionalized amines. This Perspective covers recent synthetic methods that rely on the photocatalytic generation of aminium radical cations for C─N bond formation, specifically in the context of alkene hydroamination, arene C─H bond amination, and the mesolytic bond cleavage of alkoxyamines.

Abstract
An efficient and practical method has been developed for the synthesis of steroidal imidazoheterocycles via cost-effective and environmentally benign FeCl3-catalyzed oxidative amination. A library of steroidal imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines was directly synthesized from readily available 2-aminopyridines and steroidal ketones in aerobic conditions. The synthesized compounds were screened for activity on human microsomal cytochrome P450s CYP7, CYP17 and CYP21. Antiproliferative activity of two lead compounds 3ia and 3la was additionally evaluated against the human MCF-7 (breast cancer), SKOV3 (ovarian cancer), and 22Rv1 (prostate cancer) cell lines. Steroidal imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine 3la which is a substrate molecule for CYP17A1 with IC50 = 1.7 μM (MCF-7), 3.0 (SKOV3), and 6.0 μM (22Rv1) has proved to be more active than reference drug cisplatin.

Abstract
Aliphatic primary amines are prevalent in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials. While a plethora of processes are reported for their synthesis, methods that directly install a free amine group into C(sp3)-H bonds remain unprecedented. Here, we report a set of new-to-nature enzymes that catalyze the direct primary amination of C(sp3)-H bonds with excellent chemo-, regio-, and enantioselectivity, using a readily available hydroxylamine derivative as the nitrogen source. Directed evolution of genetically encoded cytochrome P411 enzymes (P450s whose Cys axial ligand to the heme iron has been replaced with Ser) generated variants that selectively functionalize benzylic and allylic C-H bonds, affording a broad scope of enantioenriched primary amines. This biocatalytic process is efficient and selective (up to 3930 TTN and 96% ee), and can be performed on preparative scale.

Abstract
To show the synthetic utility of the catalytic C-C activation of less strained substrates, described here are the collective and concise syntheses of the natural products (-)-microthecaline A, (-)-leubehanol, (+)-pseudopteroxazole, (+)-seco-pseudopteroxazole, pseudopterosin A-F and G-J aglycones, and (+)-heritonin. The key step in these syntheses involve a Rh-catalyzed C-C/C-H activation cascade of 3-arylcyclopentanones, which provides a rapid and enantioselective route to access the polysubstituted tetrahydronaphthalene cores presented in these natural products. Other important features include 1) the direct C-H amination of the tetralone substrate in the synthesis of (-)-microthecaline A, 2) the use of phosphoric acid to enhance efficiency and regioselectivity for problematic cyclopentanone substrates in the C-C activation reactions, and 3) the direct conversion of serrulatane into amphilectane diterpenes by an allylic cyclodehydrogenation coupling.
