This addition reaction can be extended to various nitrosoꢀarenes
(commercially available) or prepared according to the method of
Bäckvall.11 Again, electronꢀdonating or accepting substituents are
tolerated in the arylnitroso reagents of type 3 furnishing the
corresponding diarylamines 5k-r in 77ꢀ97% yield (Table 2, entries
1ꢀ8).5a,10hꢀk Noteworthy, a heterocyclic zinc reagent (2k) has also
been used as well as
a
nitrosopyridine (3g)12 leading to
heteroaryl(aryl)ꢀamines 5s-y in 55ꢀ96% yield (Table 2, entries 9ꢀ15).
Moreover, tertiary alkylzinc reagents such as tꢀBuZnCl (6a) and
adamantylzinc chloride (6b)13 add to various nitrosoꢀarenes under
similar reaction conditions producing otherwise difficult to prepare
tertiaryalkyl(aryl)amines 7a-d in 50ꢀ89% yield (Table 3, entries 1ꢀ
4).14
In summary, we have shown that aryl, heteroaryl or adamantyl
zinc reagents add to various nitrosoꢀarenes in the presence of Mgꢀ
salts and LiCl. Both Mg and Li salts are necessary to achieve high
yields for the synthesis of the corresponding functionalized
secondary amines. Further extensions of this work are currently
underway in our laboratories.
The research leading to these results has received funding from
the European Research Council under the European Community’s
Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007−2014) ERC grant
agreement no. 227763. We thank the Fonds der Chemischen
Industrie for financial support. We also thank Heraeus Holding
GmbH (Hanau), Rockwood Lithium (Frankfurt), and BASF SE
(Ludwigshafen) for the generous gift of chemicals.
