Chemoselective Synthesis of N-arylbenzamides and Benzoyloxyacetanilides from Aryl Isocyanides: Styrene as Aryl and Arylcarboxymethylene Source

Styrenes serve as unique aryl or arylcarboxymethylene source towards aryl isocyanides in the presence of Cu(II)/TBHP, and yield N-arylbenzamides or benzoyloxyacetanilides respectively. The chemoselectivity of the reaction is controlled by the nature of the substituents present on styrene ring. Whereas styrenes substituted with electron-releasing alkyl and alkoxy groups yield N-arylbenzamides, unsubstituted styrene and those with electron-withdrawing substituents furnish benzoyloxyacetanilides as the major product. With benzylamines as the substrate, N-arylbenzamides are formed exclusively as they act only as an aryl donor. TBHP serves as a promoter and oxygen source. Both the pathways are believed to proceed through an initial oxidative C?C bond cleavage of styrene. (Figure presented.).
