Direct C–N bond cleavage of N-vinyl or N-allyl arylamines: a metal-free strategy for N-devinylation and N-deallylation
摘要:
A simple and convenient N-devinylation and N-deallylation strategy for N-vinyl and N-allyl arylamines in the presence of TFA/oxone is presented with the formation of selective ortho-hydroxylated and N-triflu-oroacylated arylamine product in good yields. This method is important for protection/deprotection of arylamines in organic synthesis and useful as a medicinal chemistry tool at late stage modifications in drug discovery programs.
