Rapid heteroatom transfer to arylmetals utilizing multifunctional reagent scaffolds

Arylmetals are highly valuable carbon nucleophiles that are readily and inexpensively prepared from aryl halides or arenes and widely used on both laboratory and industrial scales to react directly with a wide range of electrophiles. Although C-C bond formation has been a staple of organic synthesis, the direct transfer of primary amino (-NH2) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups to arylmetals in a scalable and environmentally friendly fashion remains a formidable synthetic challenge because of the absence of suitable heteroatom-transfer reagents. Here, we demonstrate the use of bench-stable N-H and N-alkyl oxaziridines derived from readily available terpenoid scaffolds as efficient multifunctional reagents for the direct primary amination and hydroxylation of structurally diverse aryl- and heteroarylmetals. This practical and scalable method provides one-step synthetic access to primary anilines and phenols at low temperature and avoids the use of transition-metal catalysts, ligands and additives, nitrogen-protecting groups, excess reagents and harsh workup conditions.

AMINATION AND HYDROXYLATION OF ARYLMETAL COMPOUNDS

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides methods of preparing a primary or secondary amine and hydroxylated aromatic compounds. In some embodiments, the aromatic compound may be unsubstituted, substituted, or contain one or more heteroatoms within the rings of the aromatic compound. The methods described herein may be carried out without the need for transition metal catalysts or harsh reaction conditions.

Oxidizable color producing reagent

This amount of an oxidative substance or a peroxidase-like substance can be determined by using a combined color former comprising 4-aminoantipyrine or a derivative thereof, etc., as a main color former and a p-fluoroaniline derivative or a salt thereof a

Preparation of fluorinated anilines

Fluorinated anilines, especially p-fluoroaniline and 2,4-difluoroaniline, are prepared by treating aromatic azides with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. The aromatic azides, in turn, are prepared from the corresponding anilines by treatment with nitrous acid or salt thereof and an alkali metal azide in the presence of a mineral acid, and in an aqueous-nonaqueous, two-phase environment.
