Abstract
NHC-catalyzed direct amidation of a variety of aryl, alkyl, alkenyl, and heterocyclic aldehydes with nitroso compounds is a powerful method for the synthesis of N-arylhydroxamic acids in excellent yields. This chemistry was also extended to a three-component reaction for the synthesis of N-arylaziridines.
