reaction provides an efficient route to α‐ketoamides compounds, which are ubiquitous structural units in a number of biologically active compounds. N‐substituted anilines are suitable substrates for this transformation. Two CH bonds as well as one CH and one NH bond are cleaved in this reaction. Molecular oxygen (1 atm) is used as the oxidant and the reaction involves dioxygen activation.
Copper-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling of Amine and α-Carbonyl Aldehyde: A Practical and Efficient Approach to α-Ketoamides with Wide Substrate Scope
A copper-catalyzedaerobicoxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of amine with α-carbonyl aldehyde has been developed. Many types of amines are tolerant in this transformation leading to various α-ketoamides compounds. Wide substrate scope, CDC strategy and using air as oxidant make this transformation highly efficient and practical. Molecular oxygen acts not only as the oxidant, but also
