Abstract

A copper(II)-promoted denitrogenation/oxidation reaction for the preparation of primary α-ketoamides was developed using α-azido ketones as a substrate and TEMPO as an oxidant. α-Azido ketones were denitrogenated in situ to form an imino ketone intermediate, which underwent a radical addition process and radical migration to form α-ketoamides. It is worth noting that the imino ketone intermediate is the key to this reaction.
