Zhang, M. H. Pérez-Temprano Intramolecular C(sp3)–H Bond Amination Strategies for the Synthesis of Saturated N-containing Heterocycles Jiayu Zhang and Mónica H. Pérez-Temprano*a Dedicated to the memory of Prof. Kilian Muñiz Abstract: The selective functionalization of C(sp3)–H bonds via intramolecular amination reactions represents a very attractive strategy for the construction of saturated N-containing heterocycles (SNHets). Over the past de- cades, the chemical community has devoted its efforts towards expanding the synthetic toolbox with the aim of facilitating access to these key fragments in a controllable, reproducible and efficient manner. This review covers selected examples of the most recent advances in intramolecular C(sp3)–N bond-forming reactions by three main approaches: (1) the Hofmann-Löffler-Freytag (HLF) reaction; (2) transition-metal-catalyzed nitrene C(sp3)–H inser- tion; and (3) transition-metal-catalyzed ligand-assisted C(sp3)–N bond-forming reactions via a reductive elimina- tion step. We will discuss reactivity, selectivity and the major mechanistic insights into these transformations.

Belonging to and working in your laboratory has been the single greatest honor of my undergraduate career at Michigan; what a thrill it was to be mentored by a MacArthur fellow (and a fellow Rhode Island native at that)! Your leadership as a principle investigator continues to inspire and impress me. You empower your students to realize their full potential, and take a genuine interest in their personal well-being. The unwavering passion you have for your chemistry, and for conducting research of the highest standards, is contagious. As a student in your lab, you gave me a high reputation to live up to. In my moments of weakness, you found opportunities for growth, not condemnation. As I begin my new journey as an aspiring physician-scientist, I look to your example for guidance.

This instrument replaces our 250 MHz NMR, which was purchased 20 years ago with funds from an NSF award to Mariusz and Frank Dinan. The new Agilent 400 MHz DD2 spectrometer became operational in the summer of 2013. A major feature is a gradient amplifier that can generate pulsed field gradients and perform selective excitation using shaped gra- dients. These capabilities are needed for a range of experiments including ones that involve diffusion processes. For example, Mariusz and his students have conducted diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) studies to determine if heteropolytungstates exist as dimers in solution. Also, the faculty and students can now routinely perform a slew of 2-D experiments (including COSY, HSQC, NOESY, HMBC) that were previously either extremely difficult or impossible to conduct. To date, 16 students have used the new 400 MHz NMR in their research projects and nearly 40 students have been trained to acquire both 1- and 2-D spectra in the CHM334 Spectrometric Analysis and CHM401 Modern Synthetic Methods courses.
