Formal gamma-C(sp3)–H Activation of Ketones via Microwave-Promoted and Iminyl-Radical-Mediated 1,5-Hydrogen Atom Transfer

Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

Microwave irradiation of O-phenyloximes triggers N–O homolysis and 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), resulting in formal gamma-C–H functionalization of ketones after trapping of the radical intermediate and in situ imine hydrolysis. The Lewis acid InCl3∙H2O facilitated the HAT step, enabling functionalization of nonbenzylic 1° carbon atoms. Both C–O and C–C bond formation could be accomplished by this method.
