Orthogonal Reactivity of Acyl Azides in C–H Activation: Dichotomy between C–C and C–N Amidations Based on Catalyst Systems
摘要:
The dual reactivity of acyl azides was utilized successfully in C-H activation by the choice of catalyst systems: while selective C-C amidation was achieved under thermal Rh catalysis, a Ru catalyst was found to mediate direct C-N amidation also highly selectively. Investigations of the mechanistic dichotomy between two catalytic systems are also presented.
The Rh(III)-catalyzed amidation of C(sp2)-H bonds has been reported by employing the N-methoxyamide as a novel amino source. An excellent level of functional group tolerance can be achieved when N-methoxyamide derivatives are used as the amidating reagents. Importantly, several known bioactive compounds such as Aminalon, Pregabalin, Gabapentin, and Probenecid can be transformed to effective amidating

In the field of transition-metal-catalyzed C-Hactivation, N-methoxyamides are widely used as C-Hactivation substrate. Unexpectedly, in this work N-methoxyamides were found to work as efficient amidation reagents in the rhodium(III)-catalyzedC-Hactivation with boric acid as a cocatalyst. This reaction features broad substrate scope and good yields.
