Reactivity of Carbamoyl Radicals. A New, General, Convenient Free-Radical Synthesis of Isocyanates from Monoamides of Oxalic Acid
摘要:
A new, general, simple synthesis of isocyanates was developed by oxidation of monoamides of oxalic acid with peroxydisulfate catalyzed by Ag and Cu salts. The reaction was carried out in a two-phase system (water and an organic solvent), and it is suitable also for practical applications, due to the simple experimental conditions and the inexpensive as well as nontoxic reagents. The first example of homolytic intramolecular aromatic carbamoylation is also reported.
The present invention relates to monosubstituted oxalic acid amides of the general formula (I)
[A]+ [O-C(O)-C(O)-X]- (I)
wherein the meaning is for
[A]+ a cation made from an organic moiety A having a formally positively charged heteroatom selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur and
X is the group -NRaRb, wherein Ra and Rb are the same or different and are independently from each other hydrogen or a C1 to C30 organic residue with the proviso that at least one of Ra and Rb is a C1 to C30 organic residue.
