Abstract
Despite the maturity of alkene 1,2-difunctionalization reactions involving C-N bond formation, a key limitation across aminofunctionalization methods is incompatibility with substrates bearing medicinally relevant N-heterocycles. Using a cooperative ligand-substrate catalyst activation strategy, we have developed an aerobic, copper-catalyzed alkene aminooxygenation method that exhibits broad tolerance for β,γ-unsaturated carbamates bearing aromatic azaheterocycle substitution. The synthetic potential of this methodology was demonstrated by engaging a densely-functionalized vonoprazan analogue and elaborating an amino oxygenated product to synthesize a heteroarylated analogue precursor of the FDA-approved antibiotic chloramphenicol.

Abstract
An outstanding challenge in the Pd-catalyzed functionalization of allylamines is the control of stereochemistry. Terminal alkenes preferentially undergo Heck-type reactions, while internal alkenes may undergo a mixture of Heck and C-H activation reactions that give mixtures of stereochemical products. In the case of unprotected allylamines, the challenge in achieving C-H activation is that facile in situ formation of Pd nanoparticles leads to preferential formation of trans rather than cis-substituted products. In this study we have demonstrated the feasibility of using mono-protected amino acid (MPAA) ligands as metal protecting groups to prevent aggregation and reduction, allowing the selective synthesis of free cis-arylated allylamines. This method complements Heck-selective methods, allowing complete stereochemical control over the synthesis of cinnamylamines, an important class of amine that can serve as therapeutics directly or as advanced intermediates. To highlight the utility of the methodology, we have demonstrated rapid access to mu opioid receptor ligands.

Abstract
N-heterocycles are privileged pharmaceutical scaffolds in drug discovery and development. We disclose here divergent intermolecular coupling strategies that can access diverse N-heterocycles directly from olefins. The radical-to-polar mechanistic switching is key for the divergent cyclization processes. These distinctive annulations result in the coupling of alkenes with simple bifunctional reagents for divergent N-heterocycle syntheses.

Abstract
Diastereoselective and diastereoconvergent syntheses of 2- and 3-substituted morpholine congeners are reported. Starting from tosyl-oxazatedine 1 and α-formyl carboxylates 2, base catalysis is utilized to yield morpholine hemiaminals. Their further synthetic elaborations allowed the concise constructions of conformationally rigid morpholines. The observed diastereoselectivities and the unusual diastereoconvergence in the photoredox radical processes seem to be the direct consequence of the avoidance of pseudo A1,3 strain between the C-3 substituent and the N-tosyl group and the anomeric effect of oxygen atoms.

Abstract
This study presents the development of a mechanochemical protocol for a charge-accelerated aza-Claisen rearrangement. The protocol waives the use of commonly applied transition metals, ligands, or pyrophoric Lewis acids, e.g., AlMe3. Based on (heterocyclic) tertiary allylamines and acyl chlorides, the desired tertiary amides were prepared in yields ranging from 17% to 84%. Moreover, the same protocol was applied for a Belluš-Claisen-type rearrangement resulting in the synthesis of a 9-membered lactam without further optimization.

Abstract
An efficient method for the synthesis of 2,6-multisubstituted morpholines via an electrochemical intramolecular etherification has been developed. The method, which is operationally simple and easy to scale up, provides various substituted morpholine derivatives in high yields. The utility of this method is showcased by the synthesis of 2,2,6,6-tetrasubstituted morpholines, which are difficult to synthesize efficiently using previously reported strategies.
