Direct oxidative installation of nitrooxy group at benzylic positions and its transformation into various functionalities
摘要:
C-H Nitrooxylation at benzylic positions has been achieved by employing the N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) catalyst/cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) reagent system. The nitrooxy groups were demonstrated to function as tentative hydroxy protecting groups, as well as excellent leaving groups for N- and C-substitution reactions. Hence, the present method offers a unique way to synthesize diverse O-. N-, or C-functionalized benzylic compounds from simple alkyl aromatics. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A direct conversion of C(sp(3))-H bonds to C(sp(3))-F bonds has been developed. In this process, a catalytic N-oxyl radical generated from N,N-dihydroxypyromellitimide abstracts hydrogen from the C(sp(3))-H bond and Selectfluor acts to trap the resulting carbon radical to form the C(sp(3))-F bond. This simple metal-free protocol enables the chemoselective introduction of a fluorine atom into various aromatic and aliphatic compounds and serves as a powerful tool for the efficient synthesis of fluorinated molecules.
