A copper-catalyzed reaction of ∝-azido-N-arylamides was found to proceed under an oxygen atmosphere to afford azaspirocyclohexadienones. The present transformation is carried out by a sequence of denitrogenative formation of iminyl copper species from ∝-azido-N-arylamides and their imino-cupration with an intramolecular benzene ring on the amido nitrogen followed by consecutive formation of C-O bonds. The preliminary investigation revealed that molecular oxygen is a prerequisite for achieving the present catalytic cyclization and that one of the oxygen atoms of O2 was found to be incorporated into the cyclohexadienone moiety.

(Chemical Equation Presented) The radical reaction of tributyltin hydride with o-iodo-N-methylanilides derived from α-azido acids provides an excellent access to α-(aminocarbonyl)iminyl radicals through 1,5-hydrogen transfer reaction of initially formed aryl radicals followed by β-elimination of dinitrogen from ensuing α-azido-α- (aminocarbonyl)alkyl radicals. The outcoming iminyls display a peculiar tendency to form corresponding nitriles by β-elimination of aminocarbonyl radicals.
