HFIP-Promoted PdH-Electrocatalytic Remote Ritter-Type Hydrofunctionalization of Alkenes: Divergent Access to Amides and Tetrazoles

)-N bonds, but it is generally limited to amide installation at original alkene position. Herein, we report an electrooxidative palladium-hydride-catalyzed remote and divergent Ritter-type hydrofunctionalization of alkenes. In this catalytic system, a nitrilium intermediate generated at a distal position is intercepted by HFIP to furnish a HFIP-derived imidate, which serves as a branching intermediate for telescoped remote hydroamidation and hydrotetrazolation. Mechanistic studies elucidate that HFIP facilitates palladium-hydride formation, and further reveal the role of electrooxidation in governing product formation.
