Abstract

An exceptionally chemoselective method for the direct conversion of azides to N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-protected amines under catalytic transfer-hydrogenation conditions, using the Lindlar catalyst, is reported. The extremely labile functional groups such as N-Cbz, benzyl ester are shown to be inert under the reaction conditions. The present method allows us to synthesize orthogonally protected (N-Cbz & N-Boc) 1,2-diamino systems, which will be immensely useful in organic synthesis.
