An
efficient and valuable N–N dimerization reaction of N-alkoxyamides is reported under undivided electrolytic
conditions. This electrochemical strategy provides a powerful way
to access a wide range of advanced, highly functionalized hydrazines.
Remarkably, an N-centered radical generated from
the cleavage of the N–H bond under electrolytic conditions
plays a crucial role in this transformation. Furthermore, various N-alkoxyamides bearing different substituents are suitable
in this transformation, furnishing the corresponding hydrazines in
up to 92% yield.
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.
