Copper Iodide-Catalyzed Coupling Reaction of Benzofuran-3(2H)-ones with Amines: an Approach to α-Ketoamides
Keyword(s):
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=O/C–N bond formation. Mechanism studies...
