Di-tert-Butyl azodicarboxylate

Description

Di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate (DtBAD) is a common reagent used in Mitsunobu reactions. Similar azodicarboxyates include DEAD and DIAD. Azo-type reagents such as ADDP are also used for Mitsunobu reactions.

The Uses of Di-tert-Butyl azodicarboxylate

Di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate is a reagent used in the preparation of acyl hydrazinedicarboxylates. It is also used in the electrophilic amination of beta-keto esters catalyzed by an axially chiral guanidine. It serves as a precursor in an enantioselective synthesis of 3,6-dihyropyridazines employing organocatalysts such as L-proline or (S)-2-pyrrolidinyl tetrazole. It is also utilized in the asymmetric Friedel-Crafts amination through a chiral organocatalyst. Further, it acts as a reactant for preparation of hexapeptide key fragments through stereo selective selenocyclization/oxidative deselenylation reactions. In addition to this, it is employed as a starting material in the synthesis of pyrroloisoquinoline template through stereoselective N-acyliminium-mediated cyclization and enolate amination for preparation of peptidomimetic compounds and Barbier-type propargylation reactions.

The Uses of Di-tert-Butyl azodicarboxylate

To a solution of A (400 mg, 1.54 mmol), B (621 mg, 3.09 mmol), and PPh3 (610 mg, 2.32 mmol) in THF (5.5 mL) at RT was added DEAD (404 mg, 2.32 mmol) in THF (0.5 mL). After 90 min, silica gel was added and the mixture was concentrated and purified on a flash column (25% EtOAc/hexane) to provide the product. [545 mg, 80%]
