OXONE MEDIATED MILD REMOVAL OF AZINE PROTECTING/ DIRECTING GROUP FOR APPLICATION IN ORGANIC SYNTHESES

Abstract Azine derivatives of carbonyl compounds have been used as protecting groups in the past and as directing groups in CH activation recently. Stability of the azine functional groups limits its application in areas where removal of the group is desirable. We hereby report a mild and efficient removal of the azine group using a green oxidant oxone in the presence of acetone water solvent system. The carbonyl regeneration has been afforded in high yields from a range of aldazine and ketazine derivatives to demonstrate the substrate scope. Gram scale synthesis and removal of azine DG from an ortho functionalized azine has been performed to extend the application of the methodology.
