Room-temperature Cu(ii)-catalyzed aromatic C–H azidation for the synthesis of ortho-azido anilines with excellent regioselectivity†
Abstract
Cu(II)-catalyzed aromatic C–H azidation with azido-benziodoxolone under mild conditions has been described. The primary amine exhibits an excellent ortho-directing effect, providing ortho-azidated anilines as the sole products.
