Zinc trimethylsilylamide as a mild ammonia equivalent and base for the amination of aryl halides and triflates

(Chemical Equation Presented) We report that Zn[N(SiMe3) 2]2 is a mild ammonia equivalent and base for the palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl halides and triflates. In contrast to LiN(SiMe3)2, the combination of Zn[N(SiMe 3)2]2 and LiCl coupled with aryl halides and triflates containing base-sensitive functionality in high yields. In addition, aryl bromides coupled with aryl and alkylamines with the combination of Zn[N(SiMe3)2]2 and LiCl as base. These aminations occurred without racemization of the enolizable stereocenter of an optically active ester.

Metal-free deoxygenation and reductive disilylation of nitroarenes by organosilicon reducing reagents

A metal-free deoxygenation and reductive disilylation of nitroarenes was achieved using N,N’-bis(trime-thylsilyl)-4,4’-bipyridinylidene (1) under mild and neutral reaction conditions, and a broad functional group tolerance was possible in this reaction. Mono-deoxygenation, giving a synthetically valuable N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)phe-nylhydroxylamine (7a) as a readily available and safe phenylnitrene source from nitrobenzene, and double-deoxy-genation, giving N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)anilines 8, were easily controlled by varying the amounts of 1 and reaction temperature as well as adding dibenzothiophene (DBTP). Reaction of 2-arylnitrobenzenes with 1 resulted in the formation of the corresponding carbazoles 14 via in situ-gen-erated phenylnitrene species derived by thermolysis of N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)phenylhydroxylamines 7, followed by their subsequent intramolecular C H insertion. In addition, the intramolecular N N coupling reaction proceeded in the reduction of 2,2’-dinitrobiphenyl derivatives by 1, giving the corresponding benzo[c]cinnolines.

General preparation of primary, secondary, and tertiary aryl amines by the oxidative coupling of polyfunctional aryl and heteroaryl amidocuprates

(Chemical Equation Presented). A tolerant reaction: Functionalized tertiary amines have been prepared by the oxidative coupling of amidocuprates with chloranil used as the oxidant (see Scheme). A high tolerance of functional groups and insensitivity to steric hindrance characterize this general amination reaction.
