Copper-Catalyzed Oxidative CO Coupling by Direct CH Bond Activation of Formamides: Synthesis of Enol Carbamates and 2-Carbonyl-Substituted Phenol Carbamates
Formamide CH bondactivation has been achieved under oxidative conditions, using a copper catalyst and tert‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the external oxidant (see scheme). This oxidative coupling of a range of dialkyl formamides provides an easy, phosgene‐free route for the selective synthesis of Z‐enol carbamates and 2‐carbonyl‐substituted phenol carbamates in high yields.
catalysed oxidative coupling reaction of formamides with β-keto esters and 2-carbonyl-substituted phenols successfully proceeded through directC–Hbondactivation of formamides. The corresponding carbamates were formed with high stereoselectivity under mild reaction conditions. This protocol was successfully applied to the synthesis of three novel halogenated carbamates and a carbaryl insecticide derivative

Cationic rhodium complex-catalyzed olefination of phenol derivatives for the direct introduction of an α,β-unsaturated ester appendage is described. In addition, deuterium labelling and kinetic isotope effect studies were performed to probe the reaction mechanism.
