A Mild, Ferrocene-Catalyzed C–H Imidation of (Hetero)Arenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple method for direct C-H imidation is reported using a new perester-based self-immolating reagent and a base-metal catalyst. The succinimide products obtained can be easily deprotected in situ (if desired) to reveal the corresponding anilines directly. The scope of the reaction is broad, the conditions are extremely mild, and the reaction is tolerant of oxidizable and acid-labile functionality, multiple heteroatoms, and aryl iodides. Mechanistic studies indicate that ferrocene (Cp2Fe) plays the role of an electron shuttle in the decomposition of the perester reagent, delivering a succinimidyl radical ready to add to an aromatic system.

Photoredox ketone catalysis for the direct C-H imidation and acyloxylation of arenes.
The photoexcited aryl ketone-catalyzed C-H imidation of arenes and heteroarenes is reported. Using 3,6-dimethoxy-9H-thioxanthen-9-one as a catalyst in combination with a bench-stable imidating reagent, C-N bond formation proceeds with high efficiency and a broad substrate scope. A key part of this method is that the thioxanthone catalyst acts as an excited-state reductant, thus establishing an ...

The LCuBr-catalyzed C-H imidation of arenes by N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI), previously reported by us, utilizes an inexpensive catalyst and is applicable to a broad scope of complex arenes. The computational and experimental study reported here shows that the mechanism of the reaction is comprised of two parts: (1) generation of the active dinuclear CuII-CuII catalyst; and (2) the catalyt...

The trifluoromethyl (CF3) group is becoming of increasing importance in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, polymers, and liquid crystals because the physical and chemical properties of molecules, such as metabolic stability, membrane permeability, and bioactivity, can be remarkably modified by installation of CF3 group(s). Therefore, the development of efficient trifluoromethylation methods has at...
متن کاملInherently chiral calix[4]arenes via oxazoline directed ortholithiation: synthesis and probe of chiral space
The diastereoselective oxazoline-directed lithiation of calix[4]arenes is reported with diastereoselective ratios of greater than 100:1 in some instances. Notably, it has been found that the opposite diastereomer can be accessed via this approach merely through the choice of an alkyllithium reagent. The inherently chiral oxazoline calix[4]arenes have also been preliminarily examined as ligands ...
متن کاملAnalysis of the palladium-catalyzed (aromatic)C-H bond metalation-deprotonation mechanism spanning the entire spectrum of arenes.
A comprehensive understanding of the C-H bond cleavage step by the concerted metalation-deprotonation (CMD) pathway is important in further development of cross-coupling reactions using different catalysts. Distortion-interaction analysis of the C-H bond cleavage over a wide range of (hetero)aromatics has been performed in an attempt to quantify the various contributions to the CMD transition s...
