I2-DMSO mediated oxidative amidation of methyl ketones with anthranils for the synthesis of α-ketoamides. 2021
An I2-DMSO mediated oxidative amidation of methyl ketones using anthranils as masked N-nucleophiles has been developed for the direct synthesis of α-ketoamides with high atom-economy. This metal-free process involves reductive N-O bond cleavage of anthranils and oxidative C-N bond formation of methyl ketones under mild conditions. The iodo group and electrophilic formyl group provide multiple possibilities for further functionalization of α-ketoamides.
