Abstract

A variety of N-substituted 3-aminocyclohex-2-enones were converted into the corresponding N-arylated α-iodo enaminones in high yields via concurrent α-iodination and N-arylation mediated by ArI(OAc)2. A mechanism is postulated to account for the reaction differences between the cyclic and the acyclic β-enamin­ones, which undergo predominant α-acetoxylation under the same reaction conditions.

Key words

polyvalent iodine compounds - α-iodination - PIDA - α-iodo enaminones - 3-aminocyclohex-2-enones

General Procedure for α-Iodination and N-Arylation of β-Enaminones
To a solution of substrate 1 (1.0 mmol) in dried DCE (10 mL) was added dropwise a solution of aryliodine diacetate 2 (1.3 mmol) in dried DCE (10 mL) at 60 ˚C under nitrogen atmosphere. After the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at this temperature until the conversion was complete as indicated by TLC. Then the mixture was cooled to r.t., treated with sat. aq NaHCO3 (40 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 20 mL). The combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue was purified by column chromatography using a mixture of PE and EtOAc as eluent to afford the product.
