An iodine-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of C–H/N–H has been demonstrated. This simple and efficient approach constructed α-ketoimides in good to excellent yields from methyl ketones and benzamidines hydrochloride under metal-free and peroxide-free conditions. This synthetic strategy was achieved via an in situ iodination-based oxidative coupling pathway.
An iodine-promoted highly efficient convergent synthesis of alpha-ketoimides from multiform substrates and benzonitriles through oxidative imidation reaction is described. This domino oxidative imidation process involves cleavage of C-H bond and construction of C-O and C-N bonds. This method could be a powerful compliment to the existing methods owing to its use of abundantly available starting materials and reagents.
