unactivated alkyl iodides employing a fac‐Ir(ppy)3‐catalyzed radical aminocarbonylation protocol has been developed. Using a two‐chambered system, alkyl iodides, fac‐Ir(ppy)3, amines, reductants, and CO gas (released ex situ from Mo(CO)6), were combined and subjected to an initial radical reductive dehalogenation generating alkyl radicals, and a subsequent aminocarbonylation with amines affording a
Amides can be synthesized from alkyl iodides and amines in the presence of CO (20–25 atm), without using transition metal catalyst; the radical cascade is initiated thermally using AIBN and allyltributyltin.
