Abstract
We report the isolation and study of dimers stemming from popular thiazol-2-ylidene organocatalysts. The model featuring 2,6-di(isopropyl)phenyl (Dipp) N-substituents was found to be a stronger reducing agent (Eox = −0.8 V vs SCE) than bis(thiazol-2-ylidenes) previously studied in the literature. In addition, a remarkable potential gap between the first and second oxidation of the dimer also allows for the isolation of the corresponding air-persistent radical cation. The latter is an unexpected efficient promoter of the radical transformation of α-bromoamides into oxindoles.
我们报道了从流行的噻唑-2-亚基有机催化剂中分离和研究二聚体。以2,6-二(异丙基)苯基(Dip)N-取代基为特征的模型被发现是比文献中先前研究的双(噻唑-2-亚基)更强的还原剂(Eox=−0.8 V vs SCE)。此外,二聚体的第一次和第二次氧化之间的显著电势差也允许分离相应的空气持久性自由基阳离子。后者是α-溴酰胺自由基转化为羟吲哚的出乎意料的有效促进剂。
