1,2-Radical rearrangements of aryl, furanyl and thiophenyl groups from carbon to nitrogen

Abstract

1,2-Radical rearrangements of aryl, furanyl and thiophenyl groups from carbon to nitrogen using azido groups as radical precursors are observed for the first time; the 1,2-aryl rearrangement is applied to the synthesis of phenanthridine derivatives from 6-fluorenyl azides.
