Iridium(III)-catalyzed direct C-7 amination of indolines with organic azides
1Department of Chemistry, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) , Daejon 307-701, Republic of Korea.
Abstract:
Iridium-catalyzed regioselective C-7 amination of indolines has been achieved with organic azides as a facile nitrogen source. The developed procedure is convenient to perform even at room temperature and applicable to a wide range of substrates with high catalytic activity. Various types of organic azides (sulfonyl, aryl, and alkyl derivatives) were all successfully reacted under the present conditions as the viable reactant. Furthermore, indoline substrates bearing easily removable N-protecting groups such as N-Boc or N-Cbz could readily be employed, highlighting the synthetic utility of this methodology.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
