Generation of Iminyl Copper Species from α-Azido Carbonyl Compounds and Their Catalytic C−C Bond Cleavage under an Oxygen Atmosphere
摘要:
A copper-catalyzed reaction of a-azidocarbonyl compounds under an oxygen atmosphere is reported where nitriles are formed via C C bond cleavage of a transient Iminyl copper intermediate. The transformation is carried out by a sequence of denitrogenative formation of iminyl copper species from alpha-azidocarbonyl compounds and their C C bond cleavage, where molecular oxygen (1 atm) is a prerequisite to achieve the catalytic process and one of the oxygen atoms of O-2 was found to be incorporated Into the beta-carbon fragment as a carboxylic acid.
Site-Selective Copper-Catalyzed Azidation of Benzylic C–H Bonds
摘要:
Site selectivity represents a key challenge for non-directed C-H functionalization, even when the C-H bond is intrinsically reactive. Here, we report a copper-catalyzed method for benzylic C-H azidation of diverse molecules. Experimental and density functional theory studies suggest the benzyl radical reacts with a Cu-II-azide species via a radical-polar crossover pathway. Comparison of this method with other C-H azidation methods highlights its unique site selectivity, and conversions of the benzyl azide products into amine, triazole, tetrazole, and pyrrole functional groups highlight the broad utility of this method for target molecule synthesis and medicinal chemistry.

The direct catalytic azidation of 2-hydroxy-1,2,2-triarylethanones occurs at room temperature using 2 mol % of InBr3 as Lewis acid and TMSN3 as soluble azide source. 2-Azido-1,2,2-triarylethanones have been isolated in excellent yields. The role of aryl group and stereoelectronic factors indicate that the mechanism may involve the formation of a stable carbenium ion towards azidation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
