Formal C-H amination of cyclopropenes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Nov 18;48(89):10990-2. doi: 10.1039/c2cc35329f.

Abstract

A novel C(sp(3))-H amination of trimethylsilyl-substituted cyclopropenes is described. This C-H amination proceeds via a tandem regioselective ene reaction between cyclopropenes and azodicarboxylate to generate a hydrazodicarboxylate intermediate followed by its site-selective allylic transposition.
