We have developed a new KI-catalyzed method for the imidation of an sp3 CâH bond adjacent to an amide nitrogen atom by using TBHP (tert-butyl hydroperoxide, 70% aqueous solution) as the oxidant. This novel procedure tolerated air and moisture and provided a series of novel products in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions.

The substitution of the dialkylamine residue of N-(dialkylaminomethyl) amides with nucleophiles leading to the formation of the amidomethyl compounds, reported in several papers by Hellmann, et al. has been shown not to occur with sulfides and cyanide under the condition of heating in methanol preferably in the presence of sodium hydroxide, whereas the substitution of the amide residue is chiefly effected. By similar manners the substitution reactions of N-(α-dialkylaminobenzyl) amides with sulfides and cyanide have been also realized.
