A mechanism study to identify the elements that control the chemoselectivity of metal-catalyzed N-atom transfer reactions of styryl azides is presented. Our studies show that the proclivity of the metal N-aryl nitrene to participate in sp3-C-H bond amination or electrocyclization reactions can be controlled by either the substrate or the catalyst. Electrocyclization is favored for mono-β-substituted and sterically noncongested styryl azides, whereas sp3-C-H bond amination through an H-atom abstraction-radical recombination mechanism is preferred when a tertiary allylic reaction center is present. Even when a weakened allylic C-H bond is present, our data suggest that the indole is still formed through an electrocyclization instead of a common allyl radical intermediate. The site selectivity of metal N-aryl nitrenes was found to be controlled by the choice of catalyst: Ir(I)-alkene complexes trigger electrocyclization processes while Fe(III) porphyrin complexes catalyze sp3-C-H bond amination in substrates where Rh2(II) carboxylate catalysts provide both products.
