Bi(OTf)3-Catalyzed One-Step Catalytic Synthesis of N-Boc or N-Cbz Protected α-Branched Amines
摘要:
In this paper, N-Boc and N-Cbz protected alpha-branched amines are synthesized directly from commercially available aromatic/heteroaromatic compounds, aldehydes, and tert-butyl or benzyl carbamate bearing a variety of substituents. Bismuth(III) triflate is found to be a highly effective catalyst for this one-pot, three-component coupling reaction. In addition, the use of mild reaction conditions, low catalytic loading, easy removal of the N-protective group, and one-step synthesis under open-flask are advantages of the present procedure.
Iodine is shown to be an efficient catalyst for a one-step, three-component aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction of activated arenes or heteroarenes with benzyl or tert-butyl carbamates in combination with a wide variety of aldehydes in toluene under 'open-flask' and mild conditions. In the presence of 5 mol % of iodine in toluene at room temperature, the reaction gives the corresponding N-CBz or N-Boc protected a-branched amines, selectively, in good to excellent yields.
