The direct reductive -arylation of nitromethane by organophosphorus-catalyzed reductive C-N coupling with arylboronic acid derivatives is reported. This method operates by the action of a small ring organophosphorus-based catalyst (1,2,2,3,4,4-hexamethylphosphetane -oxide) together with a mild terminal reductant hydrosilane to drive the selective installation of the methylamino group to (hetero)aromatic boronic acids and esters. This method also provides for a unified synthetic approach to isotopically labeled -methylanilines from various stable isotopologues of nitromethane (i.e., CDNO, CHNO, and CHNO), revealing this easy-to-handle compound as a versatile precursor for the direct installation of the methylamino group.
报道了膦催化的还原 C-N 偶联反应,实现了硝基甲烷与芳基硼酸衍生物的直接还原芳基化。该方法通过使用小环有机磷催化剂(1,2,2,3,4,4-六甲基磷杂环丁烷氧化物)和温和的末端还原剂氢化硅烷的共同作用,选择性地将甲氨基基团安装到(杂)芳基硼酸和酯上。该方法还为从各种稳定的硝基甲烷同位素(即 CDNO、CHNO 和 CHNO)中得到同位素标记的 - 甲基苯胺提供了一种统一的合成方法,表明这种易于处理的化合物是直接安装甲氨基基团的多功能前体。
