Tandem approach to NOBIN analogues from arylhydroxylamines and diaryliodonium salts via [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Jul 23;56(59):8226-8229. doi: 10.1039/d0cc02919j.

Abstract

Herein, we present a transition-metal free direct O-arylation of arylhydroxylamines employing diaryliodonium salts as arylation reagents to form transient N,O-diarylhydroxylamines that could subsequently undergo [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement and re-aromatization to afford structurally diverse NOBIN analogs in good to excellent yields under mild conditions.
