Fluorination of oximes with the relatively mild diethylaminosulfur
trifluoride/tetrahydrofuran (DAST–THF) system affords imidoyl
fluorides. These compounds were isolated, and their structures were
confirmed by X-ray single-crystal structure analysis. Reaction of
imidoyl fluorides with various nucleophiles efficiently afforded amides,
amidines, thioamides, and amine derivatives in high yields. Furthermore,
one-pot reaction of in situ generated imidoyl fluorides from oximes
was also applicable to efficient synthesis of these products. The
oxime stereochemistry and acid-labile protecting group remained intact
in this system.
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.
