Diversity-Oriented Synthesis of Hydrazine-Derived Compounds from Amino Isocyanates Generated In Situ

by Christian Clavette, Jean-François Vincent Rocan, Prof. Dr. André M. Beauchemin*




Behind the mask: Nitrogen-substituted isocyanates are rare and their synthetic potential is virtually untapped. Simple masked precursors can form amphoteric amino isocyanate intermediates in situ, and allows the synthesis of complex hydrazine derivatives upon addition with amines. This reactivity was used in a cascade substitution/hydroamination sequence, and in the assembly of azadipeptide analogues.
