A practical two-step synthesis of α-ketoamides and α-amino ketones via direct oxidative coupling between 2° benzylic alcohols and amines was developed. Hydrogen peroxide, an economic and environmentally friendly oxidant, was used, and a metal catalyst was unnecessary. Moreover, the continuous-flow technique was employed to increase the functional group tolerance, efficiency and safety.

A metal-free one-pot strategy has been developed for the first time to synthesize pharmaceutically important ?±-amino ketones from readily available benzylic secondary alcohols and amines using N-bromosuccinimide. This new reaction proceeds via three consecutive steps involving oxidation of alcohols, ?±-bromination of ketones, and nucleophilic substitution of ?±-bromo ketones to give ?±-amino ketones. Importantly, this novel one-pot greener reaction avoids direct usage of toxic and corrosive bromine. This methodology has been employed efficiently to synthesize pharmaceutically important amfepramone and pyrovalerone in a single step.
