Graham reaction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxidation reaction in organic chemistry
In organic chemistry, the Graham reaction is an oxidation reaction that converts an amidine into a diazirine using a hypohalite reagent. The halide of the hypohalite oxidant, or another similar anionic additive to the reaction, is retained as a substituent on the diazirine product. The reaction was first reported in 1965.[1] Various reaction mechanisms have been proposed.[2] [3]
Amidine substrates for the reaction can easily be formed from the corresponding nitriles via the Pinner reaction. The halide substituent in the diazirine product can be displaced by a various nucleophiles.[4]
