Abstract

We report the iodoamination of alkenes in continuous flow under metal-free, visible-light-mediated conditions with commercially available N-iodosuccinimide and protected amines. Unactivated and activated alkenes as well as Michael acceptors are amenable substrate classes for this process, allowing the synthesis of 1,2-iodoamines with a broad scope and in high yields (59-94%). The steadiness of the protocol is demonstrated in a continuous flow experiment over 4.5 h for the coupling of styrene, NIS, and N-tosyl-amine, which gave rise to 14 g (91%) of the iodoaminated product, corresponding to a productivity of 3.1 g h-1. Additionally, the direct conversion of the products without prior isolation into aziridines, enamines, amino alcohols, or azidoamines is possible, underscoring the synthetic value of this approach. Variation of the reaction conditions by adding typical impurities in reagents or solvents or changing the irradiation from green to blue light had a minimal effect on the yield, giving credit to the robustness of the process.
