Radical Amination of C(sp3)–H Bonds Using N-Hydroxyphthalimide and Dialkyl Azodicarboxylate
摘要:
A direct conversion of C(sp(3))-H bonds to C(sp3)-N bonds has been achieved by utilizing catalytic N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) and stoichiometric dialkyl azodicarboxylate. NHPI functions as a precursor of the electron-deficient phthalimide N-oxyl radical (PINO) to abstract hydrogens, and dialkyl azodicarboxylate acts as a trapping agent of the resultant carbon radical to generate the hydrazine derivatives. This C-H amination proceeds in a highly chemoselective manner with a wide applicability to functionalize benzylic, propargylic, and aliphatic C-H bonds. Furthermore, the obtained hydrazine compounds were readily converted to the corresponding carbamates or amines. Hence, the present protocol for direct introduction of the nitrogen functionality serves as a powerful tool for efficient construction of nitrogen-substituted natural products and pharmaceuticals.

A Barbier-type propargylation of azo compounds with γ-trialkylsilylated propargylic bromides has been achieved using reactive barium as a low-valent metal in THF. Corresponding propargylated hydrazines (α-adducts) were exclusively formed not only from azobenzenes (diaryldiazenes) but also from dialkyl azodicarboxylates. This method is also applicable to γ-alkylated or γ-phenylated propargylic bromides
