The synthesis of aryl amines via the formation of a C?N bond is an essential tool for the preparation of functional materials, active pharmaceutical ingredients and bioactive products. Usually, this chemical connection is only possible by transition metal-catalyzed reactions, photochemistry or electrochemistry. Here, we report a metal-free arene C?H amination using hydroxylamine derivatives under benign conditions. A charge transfer interaction between the aminating reagents TsONHR and the arene substrates enables the chemoselective amination of the arene, even in the presence of various functional groups. Oxygen was crucial for an effective conversion and its accelerating role for the electron transfer step was proven experimentally. In addition, this was rationalized by a theoretical study which indicated the involvement of a dioxygen-bridged complex with a “Sandwich-like” arrangement of the aromatic starting materials and the aminating agents at the dioxygen molecule.

Reactions of hydrazoic acid with aromatic compounds in the presence of both trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFSA) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) efficiently gave primary arylamines without diamine contaminants.The reactions provide mainly the ortho- and para-monoamines wven for readily oxidised aromatic compounds such as cumene, mesitylene, durene, isodurene and anisole.The mechanistic investigation demonstrates that the reactions proceed via a concerted process involving both arene attack on a conjugate acid of the azide and elimination of N2 from the conjugate acid.The reaction of butyl azide with benzene and mesitylene in the presence of both TFSA and TFA produced N-butylarylamines in low yields together with high yields of butanal via a butylnitrenium ion intermediate; a similar reaction with tert-butyl azide gave no tert-butylarylamines.
