Abstract
The use of a catalytic amount I2 and TBHP as stoichiometric oxidant enables a simple and atom economic one-pot synthesis of isatins from 2′-aminoacetophenones via oxidative amido cyclization of the sp3 C-H bond. In the presence of a stoichiometric amount of iodine, the reaction yields iodoisatines. The reaction proceeds through sequential iodination, Kornblum oxidation, and amidation in one pot.
