Abstract
The incorporation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles by deconstruction of cycloamines with nucleophiles represents a powerful method in organic synthesis. However, this paradigm suffers severe challenges in the simultaneous construction of C-N and C-C bonds that are typically encountered in pharmaceuticals. Herein, a metal- and catalyst-free C-N and C-H bond activation reaction mediated by the haloarene-derived aryne intermediate is identified that enables the deconstructive dicarbofunctionalization of cyclic amines. With the facile method, a variety of amines can undergo the direct dicarbo-functionalization reaction with the highly accessible aryl halides and hydrocarbons, yielding N-arylpiperazines and functionalized arylamines with great potential as drug candidates.
