providing corresponding secondary amides. Mass spectrometric
and isotope-labeling studies revealed that the oxygenation of
azomethine ylide occurred through the dioxazolidine inter-
mediate. 18O-Amides can be prepared easily by performing this
reaction in the presence of 18O2. The proposed amination−
umpolung functionalization strategy can also be applied for
direct derivatization of carbonyl compounds employing other
(e.g., carbon-based) electrophiles. The results of the ongoing
related investigations will be reported in due course.
