Oxidative dimerization of (hetero)aromatic amines utilizing t-BuOI leading to (hetero)aromatic azo compounds: scope and mechanistic studies

A straightforward synthetic method of both symmetric and unsymmetric aromatic azo compounds through an efficient and cross-selective oxidative dimerization of aromatic amines using tert-butyl hypoiodite (t-BuOI) under metal-free and mild conditions has been developed. This method was also found applicable to the synthesis of heteroaromatic azo compounds. The spectroscopic study indicates the involvement of N,N-diiodoanilines in the oxidative reaction as the key intermediate.

Decoration of the Aromatic Ring of Dihydrocodeinone (Hydrocodone) and 14-Hydroxydihydrocodeinone (Oxycodone)

Improved protocols for the preparation of 1-bromodihydrocodeinone (1-bromohydrocodone) and 1-bromo-14-hydroxydihydrocodeinone (1-bromooxycodone) and synthesis of the corresponding 1-chloro and 1-iodo derivatives have been achieved using the corresponding N-halosuccinimides in acidic milieu. The corresponding 1-carboethoxy derivative of 14-hydroxydihydrocodeinone (1-carboethoxyoxycodone) has been prepared by Pd-catalyzed reaction with carbon monoxide in ethanol. The ester was hydrolyzed to the corresponding zwitterionic amino acid.
