Chem. Lett. 2012, 41, 1672–1674. DOI: 10.12461/cl.2012.1672
Abstract: An intermolecular benzylic CH bond amination utilizing the combination of chloramine-T and I2 without the aid of transition-metal catalysts has been developed. The reaction was found applicable to a variety of benzene-substituted alkanes, as well as to an adamantane derivative to give N-alkylated ptosylamides in good yields.

Abstract: A mild nucleophilic ring-opening reaction of activated aziridines with N-chloro-N-sodio-tert-butylcarbamate, which gives differentially protected vicinal diamine derivatives, has been developed. The two protecting groups are selectively removable, and the total synthesis of a long-chain fatty acids oxidation inhibitor, emeriamine, was achieved by using the present method.

Abstract: A cyclizative atmospheric CO2 fixation by unsaturated amines such as allyl and propargyl amines under mild reaction conditions, efficiently leading to cyclic carbamates bearing a iodomethyl group, have been developed utilizing tert-butyl hypoiodite (t-BuOI).

Abstract: Highly selective and versatile methods for the synthesis of aza[60]fulleroids and aziridino[60]fullerenes from C60 have been developed. The reactions utilized N,N-dihalosulfonamides as an N1 source. The photophysical, electrochemical, and thermal properties of the iminofullerenes were investigated by means of UV/Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and thermogravimetry, respectively. Furthermore, photovoltaic cells based on the synthesized iminofullerenes were fabricated. The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of the devices showed moderate values ranging from 1.33 to 2.35 %.
