Iodine-Mediated α-C-H Amination of Carbonyl Compounds via Nitrogen-Directed Oxidative Umpolung.

A new synthetic strategy for direct C(sp3)-H amination of carbonyl compounds at their α-carbon has been established employing molecular iodine and nitrogen-directed oxidative umpolung. In this transformation, iodine acts not only as an iodinating reagent but also as a Lewis acid catalyst, and both the nitrogen-containing moiety and the carbonyl group in the substrate play important roles. This synthetic approach is applicable to a broad variety of carbonyl substrates, including esters, ketones, and amides. Its features also include no requirement for transition metals, mild reaction conditions, short reaction times, and gram-scale synthesis.
