Org Lett. 2022 Jul 22;24(28):5230-5234. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.2c02264. Epub 2022 Jul 13.

Abstract

We describe the imidation of phosphines and α-amidation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using N-triflylimino-λ3-iodane, which is generated in situ from iodosylarene and triflylamide without any other additives. Furthermore, the imino-λ3-iodane catalytically generated from an iodoarene precatalyst with oxone and triflylamide promotes α-amidation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, representing the first method catalyzed by imino-λ3-iodane.
