Abstract

The diazo-transfer reaction of nonactivated ketone under mild reaction conditions was developed. Various nonactivated ketones such as aryl methyl ketones, sec-alkyl methyl ketones, and cyclic ketones were transformed into their corresponding α-diazoketones in one step by treating 2-azido-1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolium hexafluorophosphate (IPrAP) in the presence of iPr2NH in ethylene glycol. In the reaction of IPrAP with prim-alkyl methyl ketone and prim-alkyl aryl ketones, migratory amidation proceeded under the reaction conditions to afford the corresponding amides.
