Abstract

A metal-free oxidative coupling of methyl ketones and primary amines to amides has been developed. The reaction tolerates a variety of functional groups, and is operationally simple. The reaction is proposed to go through a radical pathway to form the triiodomethyl ketone intermediate and the amide is formed by the nucleophilic attack of amine on triiodomethyl ketone carbonyl.
