Reaction of Hydrazones with Methoxy(tosyloxy)iodobenzene (MTIB): Tosylate Formation under Oxidative Conditions

Treatment of aromatic hydrazones 1 containing electron-withdrawing, reduction sensitive substituents with MTIB gives the corresponding tosylates 2 in high yield. When the tosylate is particularly reactive the thermodynamically more stable methyl ether 3 is isolated. Analogous reactions with DAIB give acetates 4 in high yield. Dialkyl hydrazones give olefinic products (e.g. 7 and 8). (+)-Camphor hydrazone 1k with either MTIB or DAIB gives both camphene 12 (major product) and tricyclene 11 (minor product) suggesting that a carbene pathway accounts for some of the material formed in these oxidations.
