Abstract

Trimethoxyphenyliodonium(III) acetate [TMP-iodonium(III) acetate] functions as an efficient arylation reagent for N,O-protected hydroxylamines, generating aniline derivatives in the absence of transition metal catalysts. Various N-methoxysulfonamides participated in the amination reaction to produce the corresponding N-methoxysulfonylanilines. This amination reaction was compatible with several protecting groups, including Troc (2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl), Cbz (benzyloxycarbonyl), Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl), benzyl, acetyl, and silyl groups. This method uses TMP-iodonium(III) acetate and efficiently synthesizes various aniline derivatives that are versatile synthetic intermediates for functional organic molecules.

  • 23 The solvent effects are presumably attributed to the solubility of starting materials. The present N-arylation proceeds via ligand exchange of amide with acetate anion of TMP-iodonium acetate followed by ligand coupling. We assume that the low solubility of TMP-iodonium acetate in toluene increased the relative concentration of soluble amide, which might accelerate the rate of ligand exchange step.
  • 24 When the reaction was conducted in toluene, 4-nitrophenyl acetate was generated as a side product via direct ligand coupling of 2i. In this case, addition of water to exclude potassium acetate suppressed the side reaction to afford 3ai in relatively high yield (84%).
