Copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling: From ketone and diamine to pyrazine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative C-H/N-H coupling between simple ketones and diamines was developed toward the synthesis of a variety of pyrazines. Various substituted ketones were compatible for this transformation. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicated that radical species were involved. X-ray absorption fine structure experiments elucidated that the Cu(II) species 5 coordinated by two N atoms at a distance of 2.04 Å and two O atoms at a shorter distance of 1.98 Å was a reactive one for this aerobic oxidative coupling reaction. Density functional theory calculations suggested that the intramolecular coupling of cationic radicals was favorable in this transformation.

A simple, efficient and practical copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative synthesis of α-ketoamides from aryl methyl ketones, aliphatic amines and N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) has been developed. The one-pot reaction may proceed smoothly at room temperature in the open air. The possible mechanism for the formation of α-ketoamides was proposed. Molecular oxygen in air functions as both an oxidant and an o...
