Ruthenium(II) Porphyrin-Catalyzed Amidation of Aromatic Heterocycles
摘要:
Ruthenium(II) porphyrin-catalyzed amidation of aromatic heterocycles with iminoiodanes under mild conditions (CH2Cl2, 4 Angstrom molecular sieves, ultrasound, 40 degreesC) was achieved in moderate to good yields (up to 84%) and conversions (up to 99%). Only the N,N-ditosylamidated product was obtained for reactions involving heteroarenes, where X = O, S, or NTs. N-Alkyl- and N-aryl-substituted pyrroles, on the other hand, were shown to give the 3,4-diaminated adduct.
Here, we report a practical C-H imidation of five-membered heterocycles under metal-free conditions. We also report the first dual C-H bond aminobromination of thiophenes, with benzotriazole, saccharin, 1,2,4-triazole, benzimidazole, pyrazole, 4-bromopyrazole, 5-methyltetrazole, and dibenzenesulfonimides as effective amine sources. Mechanistic studies support the radical pathway of the imidation and aminobromination reactions.
