Reaction of phenylhydrazines with arenes in the presence of aluminium trichloride

Phenylnitrenium ions are generated from phenylhydrazines by treatment with AlCl3. Reaction of a phenylnitrenium ion with arenes results in both aromatic N-substitution and C-substitution. In contrast, an N-methylphenylnitrenium ion undergoes exclusively aromatic C-substitution. Reaction of a phenylnitrenium ion with arenes present only in slight excess produces anilinated products in moderate to good yields.
Regioselective radical arylation of anilines with arylhydrazines

Substituted 2-aminobiphenyls have been prepared from arylhydrazines and anilines via radical arylation reactions under simple oxidative conditions. The strong directing effect of the free and unprotonated amino functionality leads to high regioselectivities, and anilines have been shown to be significantly better aryl radical acceptors than nitrobenzenes or phenyl ethers. The methodology is also applicable to phenols, which react best as phenolates under strongly basic conditions. Finally, radical arylation reactions of anilines and anilinium salts under various conditions have for the first time demonstrated that regioselectivity can also be controlled through the rearomatization step and that the addition of an aryl radical to a substituted benzene might even be reversible.

A phenylnitrenium ion formed from N-phenylhydroxylamine in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) containing polyphosphoric acid (PPA) interacts with the counterion -O2CCF3 and the unshared electron-pair of H2O, showing Hammett's ρ values -5.2 and -4.0 for N- and C-attacks on aromatics PhX (X = H, Me, Et, Ph and Cl), respectively. The ratio N-/C-attack for this nitrenium ion is lower than for the nitrenium ion interacting with only the counterion; the latter nitrenium ion is generated by the use of trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) instead of PPA or by reaction of phenyl azide with aromatics in TFA. The ratio for the former nitrenium ion is affected by the aromatic substituent X:X = Me > X = Et > X = Ph > X = H > X = OMe at 20 and 50°C. The order for X = Cl is between those of X = H and X = Ph at 20°C, but highest at 50°C. The ratio is increased by higher reaction temperature and by decreased concentration of TFA. The results are demonstrated from the mechanistic viewpoint for the nitrenium ions.
