Iron-catalysed 1,2-acyl migration of tertiary α-azido ketones and 2-azido-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds provides a simple and atom-economical approach toward enamides and isoquinolones. This paper reports two catalyst systems for these transformations which employ iron(ii) complexes [Fe(dpbz)]Br2 (dpbz = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene) and FeBr2/Et3N, respectively. [Fe(dpbz)]Br2 was found to be highly effective at converting 2-azido-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ones to isoquinolones. The reagent combination of FeBr2/Et3N, on the other hand, exhibited a broader catalytic scope, owing to the beneficial effect of Et3N. This latter catalyst system enables 2-azido-2-methyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to be converted to the corresponding enamides under mild conditions in good yields.

This paper reports that tertiary α-azidyl phenyl ketones can be transformed into enamides by treatment with FeBr2 at elevated temperature in DMF. The reaction proceeds via 1,2-benzoyl migration from α-carbon to the nitrogen atom, accompanied by expulsion of a nitrogen molecule. This protocol is suitable for the synthesis of N-(cyclopent-1-en-1-yl)benzamides, N-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)benzamides, and N-benzoyl-α-methyl enamines and provides a convenient approach toward isoquinolones.
