研究目的
To develop a visible light-induced anti-Markovnikov hydroazidation protocol for unactivated alkenes using photoredox catalysis.
研究成果
The developed photoredox catalysis method enables anti-Markovnikov hydroazidation of unactivated alkenes with good yields and high selectivity, utilizing water as a hydrogen donor and operating under mild, solvent-free conditions in some cases. This provides a straightforward approach to synthesizing primary azides, with potential for green chemistry applications. Future work should focus on expanding the substrate scope and improving reaction efficiency.
研究不足
The reaction is sensitive to solvent choice, with DBE and CHCl3 being optimal but not universally effective. It fails for certain substrates like those with p-OH or p-NO2 groups, internal double bonds in some cases, and specific alkenes such as styrene or allylbenzene. The use of D2O reduces yield, indicating kinetic issues with protonation. Scope is limited to certain types of unactivated alkenes, and further optimization is needed for broader applicability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed visible light photoredox catalysis with [Ir(dF(CF3)ppy)2(dtbbpy)]PF6 as the photocatalyst and trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) as the azidating agent. Reactions were conducted under argon atmosphere with optimization of conditions including solvent, catalyst loading, and additives like water and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP).
