Iron-Photocatalyzed Alkene Chloroaminoxylation: A Platform for Orthogonally Activatable Building Blocks.

We report the development of an iron-photocatalyzed 1,2-chloroaminoxylation of alkenes that installs two orthogonal and independently activatable synthetic handles, a chlorine atom and an alkoxyamino group, across a diverse range of alkene substrates. The reaction is driven by iron's ability to generate chlorine radica...
