A soluble iron(<scp>ii</scp>)-phthalocyanine-catalyzed intramolecular C(sp³)–H amination with alkyl azides

Abstract

A soluble iron( ii )-phthalocyanine, [Fe II ( t Bu 4 Pc)(py) 2 ], is an effective catalyst in intramolecular C(sp 3 )–H bond amination of alkyl azides to give the amination products in moderate to excellent yields with a broad substrate scope.
