Chemo- and Stereoselective Transition-Metal-Free Amination of Amides with Azides
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis of α-amino carbonyl/carboxyl compounds is a contemporary challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we present a stereoselective α-amination of amides employing simple azides that proceeds under mild conditions with release of nitrogen gas. The amide is used as the limiting reagent, and through simple variation of the azide pattern, various differently substituted aminated products can be obtained. The reaction is fully chemoselective for amides even in the presence of esters or ketones and lends itself to preparation of optically enriched products.

Recyclable Polymer-Supported Terpyridine–Palladium Complex for the Tandem Aminocarbonylation of Aryl Iodides to Primary Amides in Water Using NaN3 as Ammonia Equivalent
Primary aromatic amides are valuable compounds, which are generally prepared via Beckmann rearrangement of oximes and the hydration of nitriles in organic solvents. We investigated the environmentally friendly catalytic aminocarbonylation in water. Thus, a novel heterogeneous transition-metal catalyst, a polymer-supported terpyridine–palladium(II) complex, was prepared and found to promote azid...
متن کاملStereoselective N-glycosylation by Staudinger ligation.
Stereoselective methods for the chemical synthesis of beta-N-glycosyl amides are needed to generate glycopeptides and glycoproteins. Here, we report that the Staudinger ligation can be used to form glycosylated asparagine derivatives. The reaction proceeds with high stereoselectivity, and a variety of glycosyl azides can function as substrates. Our results provide precedence for the use of this...
متن کاملOrganic azides: "energetic reagents" for the intermolecular amination of C-H bonds.
This feature article provides an overview of the application of organic azides for the intermolecular amination of sp(3) and sp(2) C-H bonds. The catalytic activity of several metal complexes was reviewed underlining both synthetic and mechanistic aspects of the C-H amination. The majority of the aminated compounds reported in literature have been collected in this paper to provide a compendium...
متن کاملHydrazines and azides via the metal-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation of olefins.
The discovery, study, and implementation of the Co- and Mn-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation reactions of olefins are reported. These reactions are equivalent to direct hydroaminations of C-C double bonds with protected hydrazines or hydrazoic acid but are based on a different concept in which the H and the N atoms come from two different reagents, a silane and an oxidizing nitrog...
متن کاملMetal-free α-CH amination of ethers with hypervalent sulfonylimino-λ3-bromane that acts as an active nitrenoid.
Hypervalent N-triflylimino-λ(3)-bromane undergoes direct and regioselective α-C-H amination of ethers at room temperature under transition metal-free conditions. Kinetic results, substituent and deuterium isotope effects suggest an asynchronous concerted organonitrenoid transition state with some hydride transfer character, analogous to that for alkane C-H insertions.
