Toluene → 2-Phenylazirine

Participants

Reaction Steps

200 ml of toluene was added to the 1-azidostyrene, the mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hour, and the toluene was distilled off under reduced pressure, to obtain 11.2 g of 2-phenylazirin (C) 13.5 g of Compound (A) and 3.6 g of Compound (C) were dissolved in 50 ml of acetone, and then 0.05 g of nickel acetylacetonate was added followed by stirring for 3 hours at room temperature. After distilling the acetone off from the reaction liquid, the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (eluent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate =3/1), to obtain 12.5 g of Exemplified Coupler (60).
