TRANSITION METAL-CATALYZED IMIDATION OF ARENES
-
Paragraph 00216; 00217, (2015/03/13)
The present invention provides novel transition metal complexes (e.g., complexes of any one of Formulae (C1) to (C25)) that include an amine-N-oxide motif. The invention also provides methods of using these transition metal complexes in preparing N-aryl or N- heteroaryl sulfonimides (e.g., compounds of Formula (I)) and aryl or heteroaryl amines (e.g., compounds of Formula (II)). The inventive methods involve imidation of arenes and heteroarenes (e.g., compounds of Formula (A)) using an imidating agent (e.g., a compound of Formula (B), such as N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFBS or NFSI)) in the presence of a single-electron reductant (e.g., an Ag(I) or Ru(II) salt).
