Sulfate Radical Anion (SO4 center dot-) Mediated C(sp(3))-H Nitrogenation/Oxygenation in N-Aryl Benzylic Amines Expanded the Scope for the Synthesis of Benzamidine/Oxazine Heterocycles

摘要

A transition-metal-free, K2S2O8-mediated intra-molecular, oxidative nitrogenation/oxygenation of C(sp(3))-H in N-aryl benzylic amines followed by oxidation at the benzylic center has been developed for the synthesis of benzamidine/benzoxazine heterocycles, providing an expedient access to quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, N-aryl-2-arylbenzimidazoles, and 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones. A considerable amount of work dealing with the mechanistic study to understand the crucial intramolecular cyclization step largely favors an iminium ion as the key intermediate.
