Interestingly, encountered secondary amines, formamides rendered under mild reactions. Of note, concomitant functionalizations C moieties via cleavage unstrained C(sp3)-N bond metal oxidant sparce, which indeed significantly add versatility diversity products. Gratifyingly, uitilizing cyclic tertiary achieved difluorocarbene-mediated deconstructive time, showing successive scission simultaneous functionalization atoms would introduced into oxidants. This method provides brand-new while very universal synthetic pathway selectively cleave inert unactivated Csp3-N bonds, halodifluoromethyl reagents act C1 halo (Cl, Br, I) sources. Fascinatingly, nitrogen ylides generated approach deaminative arylation alkenylation was time appropriate represents mode lead formal transition-metal free Suzuki cross coupling.
