Abstract
The HFIP-assisted denitrogenative radical fragmentation of areneazo-2-(2-nitro)propanes, a safer alternative to diazonium salts, generated dinitrogen, nitrogen monoxide, acetone, and aryl radicals. These in situ generated aryl radicals participated in [4 + 2] benzannulations to form phenanthrenes and in diverse cross-coupling reactions, including Sandmeyer-type C–Br/C–Bpin/C–S/C–Se/C–P and C–C bond formations. TEMPO-trapping experiments confirmed their transient nature, enabling versatile approaches to radical-mediated C–C and C–X bond construction under mild and practical conditions.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
