Copper-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling of Amine and α-Carbonyl Aldehyde: A Practical and Efficient Approach to α-Ketoamides with Wide Substrate Scope
A copper-catalyzedaerobicoxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of amine with α-carbonyl aldehyde has been developed. Many types of amines are tolerant in this transformation leading to various α-ketoamides compounds. Wide substrate scope, CDC strategy and using air as oxidant make this transformation highly efficient and practical. Molecular oxygen acts not only as the oxidant, but also
A copper-catalyzed cascade reaction for selective aerobic oxidative C−C bond cleavage of β-alkyl nitroolefins and subsequent oxidative amidation with amines or amides was reported. The reaction all exhibited high selectivities and gave the corresponding α-ketoamides with 66–88% yields. The mechanistic study revealed that the NO2-directed aerobic oxidative C−C bond cleavage occurred on more electron-rich
for α-ketoamides has been developed undermildconditions. The facile synthesis of α-ketoamides has been accomplished using aryl vinyl azides and secondary amines at room temperature. The inexpensive and readily available iodine and TBHP easily promoted the oxidative amidation process to afford diketoamide derivatives in high yields. This method involves the synthesis of ketoamide compounds via sequential
