Abstract

Abstract : A novel and practical organoselenium-catalyzed, N 1 - and N 2 -selective controllable aza-Wacker reaction is realized, which provides an easy access to N 1 - and N 2 -olefinated benzotriazole derivatives. Abstract : An organoselenium-catalyzed N 1 - and N 2 -selective aza-Wacker reaction of alkenes with benzotriazoles is reported, which provides easy access to N 1 - and N 2 -olefinated benzotriazole derivatives. The wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and facile scale-up of this method are expected to promote its potential application in synthetic chemistry. A preliminary mechanism is proposed to explain the N 1 - and N 2 -selectivities.
