Photochemistry of fluorophenyl azides in aniline Asymmetric fluoroazobenzenes by N-H singlet nitrene insertion Article uri icon

abstract

  • Several fluorophenyl azides were photolyzed with aniline at room temperature. Only pentafluoro and 2,6-difluorophenyl azides gave asymmetrical fluoroazobenzenes as the major products. These products were generated by singlet N-H insertion reaction with aniline followed by oxidation of the resulting aromatic hydrazine. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
