Rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular C-H amination of simple hydrocarbons using the shelf-stable nonafluorobutanesulfonyl azide

摘要

A new procedure has been developed for the direct intermolecular C-H amination of simple hydrocarbons using shelf-stable nonafluorobutanesulfonyl azide in the presence of a dirhodium(Ⅱ) tetracarboxy-late catalyst under mild reaction conditions. Some mechanistic details are briefly discussed on the basis of control experiments.
