A mild and convenient method for the synthesis of amides has been explored by using secondary alcohols, Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O as a catalyst, and trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) as a nitrogen source in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) at ambient temperature. This method has been successfully adapted to the preparation of azides directly from their corresponding alcohols and offers excellent chemoselectivity in the formation of ω-halo azides and the azidation of allylic alcohols in the presence of a benzyl alcohol moiety. In addition, this strategy provides an opportunity to synthesize azides that can serve as precursors to β-amino acids.

Methyl and benzyl ethers are widely utilized as protected alcohols due to their chemical stability, such as the low reactivity of the methoxy and benzyloxy groups as leaving groups under nucleophilic conditions. We have established the direct azidation of chemically stable methyl and benzyl ethers derived from secondary and tertiary benzyl alcohols. The present azidation chemoselectively proceeds at the secondary or tertiary benzylic positions of methyl benzyl ethers or unsymmetrical dibenzyl ethers and is also applicable to direct allylation, alkynylation, and cyanation reactions, as well as the azidation. The present methodologies provide not only a novel chemoselectivity but also the advantage of shortened synthetic steps, due to the direct process without the deprotection of the methyl and benzyl ethers. Ethers exchanged: Methyl and benzyl ethers are chemically stable and generally tolerant under nucleophilic substitution conditions. Iron-catalyzed direct functionalizations (e.g., azidation, allylation, alkynylation, and cyanation) of methyl and benzyl ethers derived from secondary and tertiary benzyl alcohols were established with excellent regioselectivities (see scheme; PG: protecting group; Bn: benzyl; Nu: nucleophile; TMS: trimethylsilyl).

The benzylic proton of alkylarenes 1 was replaced by an azido group in one step by reaction with trimethylsilyl azide or hydrazoic acid in chloroform in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ).The 1-arylalkyl azides 2 were reduced to amines 3, which were characterized as their hydrochlorides 4.
