Abstract
AbstractA first example of Fe‐catalyzed dearomative amination of β‐naphthols with aryl azides is described. The method constructs a nitrogen‐containing quaternary carbon center catalyzed by cheap and readily available iron salt FeCl2, and affords a series of α‐amino‐β‐naphthalenones in good to excellent yields under simple and mild reaction conditions. Preliminary experimental and computational studies suggest that the reaction is probably initiated by iron‐iminyl diradical and followed by intramolecular hydrogen transfer to generate iron‐aminyl radical and finally an intramolecular radical combination reaction.magnified image
