Iron-Catalysed Remote C(sp3)?H Azidation of O-Acyl Oximes and N-Acyloxy Imidates Enabled by 1,5-Hydrogen Atom Transfer of Iminyl and Imidate Radicals: Synthesis of γ-Azido Ketones and β-Azido Alcohols

In the presence of a catalytic amount of iron(III) acetylacetonate [Fe(acac)3], the reaction of structurally diverse ketoxime esters with trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) afforded γ-azido ketones in good to excellent yields. This unprecedented distal γ-C(sp3)?H bond azidation reaction went through a sequence of reductive generation of an iminyl radical, 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT) and iron-mediated redox azido transfer to the translocated carbon radical. TMSN3 served not only as a nitrogen source to functionalise the unactivated C(sp3)?H bond, but also as a reductant to generate the catalytically active FeII species in situ. Based on the same principle, a novel β-C(sp3)?H functionalisation of alcohols via N-acyloxy imidates was subsequently realised, leading, after hydrolysis of the resulting ester, to β-azido alcohols, which are important building blocks in organic and medicinal chemistry.
Asymmetric synthesis of spiro 2-pyrrolidin-5-ones, 2-piperidin-6-ones and 1-isoindolin-3-ones. Part 1: N-acyliminium ion cyclisations with an internal arene nucleophile

A series of chiral non-racemic 5,5- and 5,6-bicyclic lactams is prepared from (R)-phenylglycinol. These are isomerised on treatment with aluminium trichloride in 1,2-dichloroethane to give spiro lactams in high yield and >3:1 diastereoselectivity. From four structures determined by X-ray crystallography, it follows that spiro indenes are formed preferentially with retention of configuration at the spiro carbon atom and spiro naphthalenes with inversion.
