Abstract
Incorporation of C(sp3)-F bonds in biologically active compounds is a common strategy employed in medicinal and agricultural chemistry to tune pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. Due to the limited number of robust strategies for C(sp3)-H fluorination of complex molecules, time-consuming de novo syntheses of such fluorinated analogs are typically required, representing a major bottleneck in the drug discovery process. In this work, we present a general and operationally simple strategy for site-specific β-C(sp3)-H fluorination of amine derivatives including carbamates, amides, and sulfonamides, which is compatible with a wide range of functional groups including N-heteroarenes. In this approach, an improved electrochemical Shono oxidation is used to set the site of functionalization via net α,β-desaturation to access enamine derivatives. We further developed a series of new transformations of these enamine intermediates to synthesize a variety of β-fluoro-α-functionalized structures, allowing efficient access to pertinent targets to accelerate drug discovery campaigns.

Abstract
An enantioselective deoxygenative functionalization of secondary amides with vinylpridines is developed by merging relay iridium catalysis and cooperative photoredox-chiral Brønsted acid catalysis, affording a series of valuable chiral amines in moderate to good yields with good enantioselectivities. The intriguing multiple catalytic system invoking triple-catalysis was found to be the key to the success of the current reactions, which may stimulate further development of catalytic methodologies for asymmetric deoxygenative transformations of amides.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence and synthetic accessibility of amides render them valuable precursors for the synthesis of diverse nitrogen-containing compounds. Herein, we present a metal-free and streamlined synthetic strategy for the synthesis of quaternary α-aminophosphonates. This approach involves sequential deoxygenative nucleophilic phosphonation and versatile electrophilic alkylation of secondary amides in a one-pot fashion. Notably, this method enables the direct bis-functionalization of secondary amides with both nucleophiles and electrophiles for the first time, with simple derivatization leading to valuable free α-aminophosphonates by hydrolysis. The protocol has the advantages of operational simplicity, broad functional-group compatibility, environmental friendliness, and scalability to multigram quantities.

Abstract
A reductive (3+2) annulation of lactams through iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation and photoredox coupling with α-bromoacetic acid was developed. The iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of the lactam carbonyl group and subsequent elimination provide a transient cyclic enamine, which undergoes iridium-catalyzed photoredox coupling with α-bromoacetic acid in a one-pot process. The developed conditions show high functional-group tolerance and provide cyclic N,O-acetals containing a quaternary carbon center. The resulting N,O-acetals undergo a variety of acid-mediated nucleophilic addition reactions via iminium ions to give substituted cyclic amines. The developed sequence including reductive (3+2) annulation and acid-mediated nucleophilic addition was successfully applied to the four-step total synthesis of (±)-eburnamonine.
