We report herein that symmetrical and non-symmetrical N-heterobiaryls are produced by a potassium tert-butoxide-mediated dimerization of heterocyclic N-oxides. The reaction is scalable and transition metal-free, and can be carried out under thermal and microwave conditions. Preliminary mechanistic studies point to the involvement of radical anionic intermediates arising from the N-oxide substrates and potassium tert-butoxide.
我们在此报告,通过叔丁醇钾介导的杂环N-氧化物二聚反应可生成对称和不对称的N-杂二芳基化合物。该反应可扩大规模且无过渡金属参与,并且可以在热条件和微波条件下进行。初步机理研究表明,反应涉及由N-氧化物底物和叔丁醇钾产生的自由基阴离子中间体。
