Hydrogen peroxide based oxidation of hydrazines using HBr catalyst

Azo compounds (RN = NR′) are an important class of organic molecules that find wide application in organic synthesis. Herein, we report an efficient, practical and metal-free oxidation of hydrazines (RNH-NHR’) to azo compounds using 5 mol% HBr and hydrogen peroxide as terminal oxidant. This new method has been demonstrated by 40 examples with excellent yields. In addition, we showcased two examples of the one-pot sequential reactions involving our hydrazine oxidation/hydrolysis/Heck reaction or Cu-catalyzed N-arylation with aryl boronic acid. The distinct advantages of this protocol include metal-free catalysis, waste prevention, and easy operation.

Electrochemical dehydrogenation of hydrazines to azo compounds

A strategy for the electrochemical dehydrogenation of hydrazine compounds is disclosed under ambient conditions. This protocol proceeded smoothly in ethanol by employing electrons as clean oxidants. Its synthetic value is well demonstrated by the highly efficient synthesis of symmetric and unsymmetric azo compounds. It is an environmentally friendly transformation and the present protocol was effective on a large scale.

Aerobic Oxidation of Alkyl 2-Phenylhydrazinecarboxylates Catalyzed by CuCl and DMAP

Recently, various fruitful organic reactions such as a catalytic Mitsunobu reaction were reported by virtue of alkyl 2-phenylazocarboxylates, however, the synthesis of alkyl 2-phenylazocarboxylates largely depended on the stoichiometric use of toxic oxidants. In this manuscript, an environment-friendly aerobic oxidative transformation of alkyl 2-phenylhydrazinecarboxylates to alkyl 2-phenylazocarboxylates is disclosed. The use of CuCl and DMAP system efficiently catalyzed the aerobic oxidation of alkyl 2-phenylhydrazinecarboxylates under mild conditions. The reaction rate of the present Cu-catalysis was much faster than that of the previously reported Fe-catalysis, and a variety of azo products were synthesized within 3 h. The present protocol was effective on larger scale. It was observed that the produced azo compound could undergo various reactions without isolation through one-pot sequential protocols.

Catalytic Aerobic Oxidation of Arylhydrazides with Iron Phthalocyanine

A convenient method for the synthesis of 2-arylazocarboxylates from 2-arylhydrazinecarboxylates by aerobic oxidation with iron phthalocyanine is described. The reaction is applicable to oxidative activation of 1-acyl-2-phenylhydrazines. Some preliminary experiments suggest Michaelis-Menten kinetics and participation of radical species in the reaction mechanism.

Novel, efficient and regiospecific alkylation/arylation/heteroarylation of unsymmetrical azo compounds

Excellent regioselectivity is observed in the addition of diverse organometallic nucleophiles to unsymmetrical azo compounds. Primary/secondary/ tertiary alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl substituents were introduced this way in high yields. Georg Thieme Verlag
