Carbon–Nitrogen Bond Formation between Allyl Silyl Ether and Hydrazide Promoted by Mercuric Triflate Catalyst

Abstract

An efficient method for carbon–nitrogen bond formation between ally silyl ethers and N,N-acyltosylhydrazine was developed under very mild conditions using 2 mol% of mercuric triflate [Hg(OTf)₂] as a catalyst. This method does not require the use of any ligand system or supplementary additives and is applicable to the preparation of various N-allylhydrazides with good to excellent yields.

Key words

allylation - amination - hydrazine - silyl ether - mercury

• 12 General Procedure: To a solution of TBDPS ether 1h (1 g, 3.0 mmol) and N,N-acyltosylhydrazine (4, 1.01 g, 4.5 mmol) in MeNO₂ (15 mL) was added a 0.1 M MeCN solution of Hg(OTf)₂ (0.6 mL, 0.06 mmol) at r.t. under argon atmosphere. After stirring for 4 h at r.t., the reaction mixture was quenched with sat. aq NaHCO₃. The organic materials were extracted with EtOAc, and then washed with brine. The organic phase was dried over Na₂SO₄, and the filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel using hexane and EtOAc (8:1) to give N,N-acyltosylhydrazine adduct 5 (754 mg, 82%) as a white solid.Analytical Data for Compound 5: white solid.
