A copper iodide-catalyzed coupling reaction of benzofuran-3(2H)-ones with amines: an approach to α-ketoamides

Abstract

A CuI-catalyzed coupling reaction of benzofuran-3(2H)-ones with amines has been well established for the direct synthesis of α-ketoamides. This process involves C–O bond cleavage and C[double bond, length as m-dash]O/C–N bond formation. Mechanism studies indicated that this α-ketoamide formation reaction may involve a free radical process.
