Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Organocatalysts have been the subject of intense research effort because of their low toxicity, facile handling, and eco-friendly characteristics. Recently, the development of the C-H activation reaction using organocatalysts has also been studied. We report studies on the oxidative coupling of acridone and nitromethane using a range of radicals. BPAN (tert-butyl(10-phenyl-9-anthryl)nitroxide) was found to be an optimal catalyst for the coupling reaction. It has been considered that in the hydrogen abstraction reaction, the values of the LUMO on the oxygen atom are particularly important. In addition, upon reoxidation to increase catalyst efficiency, the value of the HOMO orbital of the NO-H moiety on the reductant is also important. BPAN was demonstrated to be the optimal radical with regards to all of these values.
