Intermolecular Acetoxyaminoalkylation of α-Diazo Amides with (Diacetoxyiodo)benzene and Amines.

Multicomponent reactions of diazo compounds have attracted much attention in recent years. Such transformations are generally conducted by applying transition metal catalysis and involve the corresponding metal carbenes as key intermediates. In this letter, a metal-free three-component intermolecular acetoxyaminoalkylation of α-diazo amides with tertiary aryl amines and (diacetoxyiodo)benzene is presented.
