Publication History
Publication Date:
08 September 2006 (online)
Abstract
A new copper salt catalyzed C-N coupling is described. This smooth reaction between azo compounds and organobismuth reagents provides efficient and highly regioselective access to Boc-protected aryl hydrazines. The yields under optimized conditions are mostly excellent and the synthetic procedure is robust and simple.
Key words

Typical Procedure (Table
[2]
, entry 2): A two-neck flask, equipped with a reflux condenser, was charged with PhN=NBoc (87 mg, 0.378 mmol) and Ph3Bi (200 mg, 1.2 equiv), evacuated, and backfilled with argon. Then MeCN (2 mL) and MeOH (76 µL, 5 equiv) were added, followed by Cu(OAc)2·H2O (8 mg, 0.1 equiv). The flask was immersed in a bath with the temperature maintained at 70 °C. The reaction was monitored by TLC (EtOAc-hexane, 1:4) and was complete in 5 min. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo, the residue was chromatographed with CHCl3-hexane (1:1) to remove nonpolar compounds and then EtOAc-hexane (1:2) to yield 105 mg of pure product (90%), by TLC and NMR.
White crystals (from hexane); mp 122-123.5 °C. IR (KBr): 3317 (NH), 1704 (CO) cm-1. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ = 1.48/1.31 (s, 9 H, Boc), 6.87/6.71 (br s, 1 H, NH), 6.9-7.4 (m, 10 H, Ph). 13C NMR (CDCl3): δ = 28.3 (Boc), 81.3 (Cq, Boc), 119.4, 122.7, 129.1, 146.4 (Ph), 155.3 (CO, Boc).
Structures of all compounds prepared were confirmed with the help of spectral and analytical data. Analytical samples were obtained by crystallization. NMR spectra were mea-sured in CDCl3. Chemical shifts of conformers are given in decreasing order of intensity and separated by slashes.
