Abstract
The N-debenzylation of aryl-halogenated amines using the Laccase LAC97/TEMPO system is reported, demonstrating selective N-debenzylation with no dehalogenation of the phenyl ring, which is observed with conventional debenzylation methods such as palladium-catalysed hydrogenation. This reaction was performed under ambient conditions in acidic buffer with 5 % DMSO as co-solvent in an open-to-air vessel. The versatility and robustness of the system was demonstrated on substrates harbouring different halogen moieties. The limitations of the Laccase LAC97/TEMPO system were also studied, highlighting the formation of by-products due to overoxidation on selected substrates. A series of substrates with various halogens were studied. High conversion (78–90 %) in 6 h and full conversion was achieved within 24 h using HPLC to monitor the reaction. Overall, this system is presented as a chemoselective N-debenzylation alternative for aryl-halogenated substrates.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
