- Abstract
N- tert-Butoxycarbonyl azide (BocN3) was shown to be an efficient and economic source for the directed introduction of N-Boc protected amino groups into the thiophene and benzene nucleus. Yields for the amination of 2-pyridin-2-ylthiophenes (10 examples) were 52-88%. For the amination of the respective benzenes (10 examples) yields between 54% and 99% were recorded with an improved reactivity observed for substrates that bear an electron-withdrawing group. The reaction was applied to short total syntheses of the indoloquinoline alkaloids quindoline and cryptolepine. The facile removal of the Boc protecting group was the key to the success of the syntheses. The scope of the reaction was extended to a C( sp3)H bond amination and to the amination of 2-phenyloxazoline. For the amination of 2-pyridin-2-ylbenzene a kinetic deuterium isotope effect of 2.0 was determined.
