[EN] REAGENTS AND METHODS FOR ALIPHATIC CARBON—HYDROGEN BOND FUNCTIONALIZATION [FR] RÉACTIFS ET PROCÉDÉS DE FONCTIONNALISATION DE LIAISON CARBONE-HYDROGÈNE ALIPHATIQUE
摘要:
The subject matter contained herein relates generally to methods and compounds that facilitate aliphatic carbon-hydrogen bond functionalization by group transfer via a nitrogen-centered radical in the presence of a trap, and the functionalized compounds prepared therefrom. The subject matter described herein provides a platform and the ability to efficiently and selectively introduce a range of valuable functionality on diverse hydrocarbon substrates ranging from methane to polyolefins with >3500 carbon atoms. As described herein, the reagents employed can form reactive N-centered radicals, the kinetics of which do not compete with companion radical traps. This technology finds usefulness in enhancing capabilities in late-stage diversification, while the molecules and materials now made accessible can provide solutions to important challenges in medicinal chemistry and materials science.
