Protocol for efficient dearomatization of N-heteroaromatics with halogen(I) complex catalyst

Abstract

Summary: In this protocol, we describe the application of a halogen(I) complex as a highly active non-metallic complex catalyst. Specifically, we present a detailed guide to synthesize the halogen(I) complex catalyst and utilize it as an anion-binding catalyst for the Mukaiyama-Mannich-type reaction of N-heteroaromatics such as pyridines. By utilizing a simple catalyst preparation approach and relatively low catalyst loading, the steps outlined in this protocol contribute to the rapid development of useful substances such as pharmaceuticals and functional materials.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Oishi et al. (2022).1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
