Non-symmetric phenazines were synthesized via the Buchwald-Hartwig amination of ortho-bromoazobenzenes with anilines under micellar conditions, using the commercially available surfactant Kolliphor EL in water, followed by an acid-promoted 6π-electrocyclization-aromatization process. Two different synthetic pathways to obtain the ortho-bromo azo intermediates were explored, namely the palladium catalysed selective ortho bromination of azobenzenes and the diazo coupling of ortho-bromo diazonium salts with N,N-dimethylaniline, imidazole, phenol, sodium methanesulfinate and ethyl chloroformate.

Abstract
Non-symmetric phenazines were synthesized via the Buchwald-Hartwig amination of ortho-bromoazobenzenes with anilines under micellar conditions, using the commercially available surfactant Kolliphor EL in water, followed by an acid-promoted 6π-electrocyclization-aromatization process. Two different synthetic pathways to obtain the ortho-bromo azo intermediates were explored, namely the palladium catalysed selective ortho bromination of azobenzenes and the diazo coupling of ortho-bromo diazonium salts with N,N-dimethylaniline, imidazole, phenol, sodium methanesulfinate and ethyl chloroformate.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
