Continuous flow photolysis of aryl azides: Preparation of 3H-azepinones
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photolysis of aryl azides to give nitrenes, and their subsequent rearrangement in the presence of water to give 3H-azepinones, is performed in continuous flow in a photoreactor constructed of fluorinated ethylene polymer (FEP) tubing. Fine tuning of the reaction conditions using the flow reactor allowed minimization of secondary photochemical reactions.

Efficient Synthesis of 3H-Indoles Enabled by the Lead-Mediated α-Arylation of β-Ketoesters or γ-Lactams Using Aryl Azides
The development of a lead-mediated α-arylation reaction between aryl azides and β-ketoesters or γ-lactams that facilitates the formation of 3H-indoles is disclosed. Twenty-five examples are included which demonstrate the generality of this reaction to access aryl azides bearing tetrasubstituted o-alkyl substituents. When paired with a Staudinger reduction, this reaction streamlines the synthesi...
متن کاملCatalytic N-N coupling of aryl azides to yield azoarenes via trigonal bipyramid iron-nitrene intermediates.
The reactivity of the trigonal bipyramidal iron(I) complex [SiP(iPr)(3)]Fe(N(2)) ([SiP(iPr)(3)] = (2-iPr(2)PC(6)H(4))(3)Si(-)) toward organoazides has been examined. 1-Adamantylazide was found to coordinate the iron center to form stable [SiP(iPr)(3)]Fe(eta(1)-N(3)Ad). Aryl azides instead afforded unstable [SiP(iPr)(3)]Fe(N(3)Ar) species that decayed gradually to regenerate [SiP(iPr)(3)]Fe(N(2)...

Vilsmeier-Haack reaction of 2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-benzo[g]indole, then aqueous basic work-up, leads to benzo[g]indol-2-ylidene- malondialdehydes. These react with various arylhydrazines and quinolin-2-ylhydrazine to form 3,3-dimethyl-2-(1-aryl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)- 3H-benzo[g]indoles in good yields.

Photoaffinity labeling is a useful technique employed to identify protein-ligand and protein-protein noncovalent interactions. Photolabeling experiments have been particularly informative for probing membrane-bound proteins where structural information is difficult to obtain. The most widely used classes of photoactive functionalities include aryl azides, diazocarbonyls, diazirines, and benzoph...
متن کاملSynthesis of radiolabelled aryl azides from diazonium salts: experimental and computational results permit the identification of the preferred mechanism.
Experimental and computational studies on the formation of aryl azides from the corresponding diazonium salts support a stepwise mechanism via acyclic zwitterionic intermediates. The low energy barriers associated with both transition structures are compatible with very fast and efficient processes, thus making this method suitable for the chemical synthesis of radiolabelled aryl azides.
