Abstract

Oxidative coupling strategies that can directly convert the C–H group for chemical transformations are, in theory, ideal synthetic methods to reduce the number of synthetic steps and byproduct generation. Hypervalent iodine reagents have now become one of the most promising tools in developing oxidative couplings due to their unique reactivities that are replacing metal oxidants. As part of our continuous development of oxidative coupling reactions, we describe in this report highly efficient μ-oxo hypervalent iodine catalysts for the direct oxidative coupling of N-methoxyamides and related compounds with aromatic hydrocarbons. The excellent TONs, up to over 100 times, with a best catalyst loading of 0.5 mol% were determined for the oxidative C–H/N–H coupling method, which can provide the most straightforward route to obtaining these unique arylamide compounds.

  • 10 Dilute peracetic acid is known as a safe and environmentally friendly oxidant that releases nontoxic acetic acid as the co-product. It is commercially available and frequently employed in industrial-scale oxidations, such as epoxidation. Furthermore, its aqueous 0.2–0.3% solution is widely used as a disinfectant in medical situations.

      The existence of strong secondary bondings between the iodine atoms and the ligand’s carbonyl oxygens appears in the structure, which was confirmed by the lower shift of carbonyl frequencies for the μ-oxo PIFA in the infrared resonance spectra compared to that of PIFA. These observations clearly account for the enhanced cationic character of the iodine center, see:
