Abstract
A Cu-catalyzed reductive aminocarbonylation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl iodides using nitroarenes as the nitrogen source provides a diverse range of secondary N-aryl alkylamides. The single copper catalyst synergistically mediates both carbonylation of alkyl iodides and reduction of nitroarenes, to provide acyl iodides and anilines as possible reactive intermediates.
