Copper(ii) ketimides in sp3 C-H amination.


ABSTRACT: Commercially available benzophenone imine (HN[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2) reacts with β-diketiminato copper(ii) tert-butoxide complexes [CuII]-O t Bu to form isolable copper(ii) ketimides [CuII]-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2. Structural characterization of the three coordinate copper(ii) ketimide [Me3NN]Cu-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2 reveals a short Cu-Nketimide distance (1.700(2) Å) with a nearly linear Cu-N-C linkage (178.9(2)°). Copper(ii) ketimides [CuII]-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2 readily capture alkyl radicals R˙ (PhCH(˙)Me and Cy˙) to form the corresponding R-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2 products in a process that competes with N-N coupling of copper(ii) ketimides [CuII]-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2 to form the azine Ph2C[double bond, length as m-dash]N-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CPh2. Copper(ii) ketimides [CuII]-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CAr2 serve as intermediates in catalytic sp3 C-H amination of substrates R-H with ketimines HN[double bond, length as m-dash]CAr2 and t BuOO t Bu as oxidant to form N-alkyl ketimines R-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CAr2. This protocol enables the use of unactivated sp3 C-H bonds to give R-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CAr2 products easily converted to primary amines R-NH2 via simple acidic deprotection.
