An efficient and regioselectivenickel-catalyzed remote C-H nitration of 2-aryl oxazoline amides using the non-corrosive TBN as nitro source has been developed. The protocol makes use of inexpensive nickel salts as catalysts and delivers the corresponding products in excellent yields. Notably, bis-nitration products were obtained by simply increasing the amount of tert-butyl nitrite. This reaction proceeds in air and features excellent functional group compatibility, broad substrate scope and is suitable for gramscale synthesis.
A novel method for the synthesis of β-nitrate ester carboxamides using non-corrosive tert-butyl nitrite (TBN) as the nitro source and easily available oxygen as the oxidant has been developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
