Research abstract

The Muñiz group has continued the development of new synthetic methodology for advanced oxidative amination of organic molecules. For 2013, work in the area included the development of new reactivity within the palladium(II/IV) catalysis manifold as well as in the field of hypervalent iodine(III) reagents. With respect to the latter, the group has succeeded in the preparation and structural characterization of entirely new reagents of the type ArI[(NSO₂R)₂]₂. These compounds provide unprecedented reactivity in a series of C-N instalment events.

Topics addressed

Palladium catalysis
Metal-free amination by hypervalent iodine chemistry
