Methods for directfunctionalization of C–H bonds mediated by N-oxyl radicals constitute a powerful tool in modern organic synthesis. While several N-oxyl radicals have been developed to date, the lack of structural diversity for these species has hampered further progress in this field. Here we designed a novel class of N-oxyl radicals based on N-hydroxybenzimidazole, and applied them to the direct C–H functionalization
A direct conversion of C(sp(3))-H bonds to C(sp3)-N bonds has been achieved by utilizing catalytic N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) and stoichiometric dialkyl azodicarboxylate. NHPI functions as a precursor of the electron-deficient phthalimide N-oxyl radical (PINO) to abstract hydrogens, and dialkyl azodicarboxylate acts as a trapping agent of the resultant carbon radical to generate the hydrazine derivatives. This C-H amination proceeds in a highly chemoselective manner with a wide applicability to functionalize benzylic, propargylic, and aliphatic C-H bonds. Furthermore, the obtained hydrazine compounds were readily converted to the corresponding carbamates or amines. Hence, the present protocol for direct introduction of the nitrogen functionality serves as a powerful tool for efficient construction of nitrogen-substituted natural products and pharmaceuticals.
