RESUMO
We report herein a copper-mediated ortho-C-H amination of anilines using oxalamide as the directing group and DMF as the amination reagent. This protocol tolerates various functional groups and shows good heterocyclic compatibility. Late-stage dimethylamination of drugs demonstrated the synthetic practicality of the protocol. Mechanistic experiments indicate that a radical pathway may be involved in the reaction.
RESUMO
A copper-catalyzed oxalamide-directed ortho-C-H amination of anilines has been developed by using 1 atm of air as the sole oxidant. The protocol shows excellent functional group tolerance, and some heterocyclic amines including indole, benzothiophene, benzothiazole, quinoline, isoquinoline, and quinoxaline could be compatible in the reaction. The late-stage diversification of medicinal drugs demonstrates the synthetic utility of this protocol.
RESUMO
Copper mediated C(sp2)-H amination and hydroxylation of arylphosphinic acid are accomplished by adopting phosphinamide as the directing group. This method is distinguished by its wide substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance, thus allowing for the rapid preparation of organophosphorus compounds in organic synthesis.
