Amide synthesis is one of the most important transformations in organic chemistry due to broad application pharmaceutical drugs and materials. In this report, we describe a mild protocol for amide formation using readily available nitroarenes as nitrogen sources an inexpensive iron complex catalyst. Because use pH-neutral conditions avoidance strong oxidant or reductant, wide range aromatic aliphatic aldehydes well with various functional groups could be tolerated well. A plausible mechanism proposed based on detailed studies, which catalyst initiates radical process solvent plays key role O-atom acceptor.

Ligand‐Promoted Iron‐Catalyzed Nitrene Transfer for the Synthesis of Hydrazines and Triazanes through N‐Amidation of Arylamines

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 63(2)

Опубликована: Ноя. 24, 2023

Abstract Herein, we report that bulky alkylphosphines such as P t Bu 3 can switch the roles from actor to spectator ligands promote FeCl 2 ‐catalyzed N ‐amidation reaction of arylamines with dioxazolones, giving hydrazides in high efficiency and chemoselectivity. Mechanistic studies indicated phosphine could facilitate decarboxylation dioxazolones on Fe center, hydrogen bonding interactions between nitrenoid intermediates might play a role modulating delicate interplay ligand, arylamine, acyl nitrene N, favoring N−N coupling over N−P coupling. The new ligand‐promoted protocols offer convenient way access various challenging triazane compounds via double or sequential primary arylamines.
