Abstract

An efficient approach for the amination of vinyl azides with N,N-dialkylacylamides has been developed. By using this protocol, structurally important α-ketoamides can be easily synthesized. The key to success is not only the introduction of a Cu(I)/oxygen catalytic system but also the utilization of t-BuOCl and benzoic acid as additives. The reaction is operationally simple, scalable, and displays broad scope and functional group tolerance. A possible mechanism involving copper-catalyzed oxidative generation of peroxide radicals is proposed.

Key words

14 Synthesis of 4a; Typical Procedure: To a solution of α-azido styrene (1a; 72.5 mg, 0.5 mmol), tert-butyl hypochlorite (113.1 μL, 1.0 mmol), and benzoic acid (122.1 mg, 1.0 mmol) in N,N-diethylformamide (2b; 1 mL) at room temperature, CuI (28.6 mg, 0.15 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was heated at 100 °C and stirred for 5 h under an oxygen atmosphere, when TLC analysis confirmed that substrate 1a had been consumed. The resulting reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and K₂CO₃ was added. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3 × 15 mL), and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine (3 × 40 mL), dried over MgSO₄, filtered and concentrated. Purification of the crude product by flash column chromatography (silica gel; petroleum ether) afforded 4a (77% yield) as a yellow oil.
