Abstract

A copper(II)-promoted denitrogenation/oxidation reaction of α-azido ketones and TEMPO as an oxidant provides primary α-ketoamides. α-Azido ketones were denitrogenated in situ to form an imino ketone intermediate, which underwent a radical addition process and radical migration to form α-ketoamides.
