Abstract
Benzazetidines are highly strained and inherently unstable heterocycles. There are only few methodologies for assembling these compounds. Here, a protocol is presented to trap an elusive cyclic, four-membered hemiaminal structure. This method affords several benzazetidines in moderate to good yields (up to 81%), and it uses inexpensive materials and does not require catalysts based on transition metals. The high ring strain energy of these benzazetidine systems was estimated by density functional theory calculations to be about 32 kcal mor(-1). This synthesis can be applied also on gram scale with reaction yield essentially unchanged.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
