Electrochemical C(sp2)—H Bromination of Glycine Derivatives Enabled by Boron
A method for the electrochemical arene C(sp2)—H bromination of glycine derivatives at room temperature is reported.Under mild reaction conditions,a series of brominated N-aryl glycine amides,N-aryl glycine esters,and dipeptide at aromatic C(sp2)—H bonds were smoothly synthesized using tetrabutylammonium bromide or tetrabutylammonium tribromide as Br sources and electrolytes with up to 95%yield.Compared with traditional methods,this methodology features broad substrate scope,good functional group compatibility,easy operation,without using additional oxidants and metal catalysts,thus much conforms to the requirement of green chemistry and environmental protection.
