A simple and practical method for α-ketoamide synthesis via a decarboxylative strategy of isocyanates with α-oxocarboxylic acids is described. The reaction proceeds at room temperature under mild conditions without an oxidant or an additive, showing good substrate scope and functional compatibility. Moreover, the applicability of this method was further demonstrated by the synthesis of various bioactive
A catalyst‐ and additive‐free chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of α‐keto amides to α‐hydroxy amides is easily achieved by using sodium formate as a hydrogen source. Control experiments suggest that the NH group of α‐keto amides is crucial for the chemoselective reduction through the formation of hydrogen bonds.

A redox annulation reaction of cyclic amines and α-ketoamides was developed. A variety of 1,2-fused bicyclic imidazolidin-4-ones were synthesized in moderate to good yields from cyclic amines by redox-neutral α-C–H functionalization.
