A peroxide-free methodology was developed for the synthesis of benzoylated naphthol/phenol derivatives through oxidative deamination reaction performed under aerobic reaction conditions. A synergistic combination of Cu(OTf)2 and Ag2O was used to convert the aminonaphthols and aminophenols to the corresponding benzoylated derivatives. The definite role of atmospheric oxygen to assist the reaction was

Metal, oxidant and other additive-free novel methods for direct C–H aryloxylation of aliphatic amines are developed. In the presence of excess amine, the course of the reaction was diverted, producing various arylmethylamines via hydride-free formal reductive amination. Involvement of a quinonemethideintermediate was revealed from mechanistic studies.
