Abstract:
A highly efficient and chemoselective approach for the divergent assembling of unsymmetrical hydrazines through an unprecedented intermolecular desulfurdioxidative N-N coupling is developed. This metal free protocol employs readily accessible N-arylhydroxylamines and N-sulfinylanilines to provide highly valuable hydrazine products with good reaction yields and excellent functional group tolerance under simple conditions. Computational studies suggest that the in situ generated O-sulfenylated arylhydroxylamine intermediate undergoes a retro-[2π+2σ] cycloaddition via a stepwise diradical mechanism to form the N-N bond and release SO2.
