Abstract

In synthetic purposes it is more efficient to start directly from arenes rather than from amines or ketones, thereby bypassing some steps. A direct arylamidation procedure has been reported, in which arenes can condense with a hydroxamic acid [³a] [b] or N-tosyloxyphthalimide [³c] but this reaction has a limited scope of applications. ... In the current paper we propose a new method of acetamidation or amination of aromatic compounds based on the usage of ...
