α-C?H arylation of N-alkylamides using 2-iodoarylsulfonyl radical translocating arylating (RTA) groups is reported. The method allows the construction of α-quaternary carbon centers in amides. Various mono- and disubstituted RTA-groups are applied to the arylation of primary, secondary, and tertiary α-C(sp3)?H-bonds. These radical transformations proceed in good to excellent yields and the cascades comprise a 1,6-hydrogen atom transfer, followed by a 1,4-aryl migration with subsequent SO2 extrusion.

The N-alkylation of phenylacetamide with benzyl alcohol has been studied using Ni/SiO2–Al2O3. In the optimized conditions, the desired product was isolated in an excellent 98 % yield. The reaction could advantageously be performed in neat conditions, with a slight excess of amide and a catalytic amount of base. These conditions were tested on a large range of amides and alcohols, affording 24 compounds in 13 to 99 % isolated yields.

A chemo- and regioselective intermolecular sp3 C-H and sp2 C-H coupling reaction for C-C bond formation is described to access unsymmetrical diaryl acetamides under TM-free conditions from sec- and tert-arylacetamides and nitroarenes using tert-butoxide base in DMSO at room temperature. The coupling partners with sensitive functionalities such as chloro, bromo, hydroxy, and cyano were also amenable to the developed reaction. Synthesized α-(2/4-nitroaryl) phenylacetamides have been transformed into biologically important benzofurans, xanthenes, diaryl indoles, and unsymmetrical benzophenones by novel routes without applying a transition metal. Overall, an economical, yet efficient, strategy has been devised to access unsymmetrical diarylacetamides with the possibility of their further elaboration into a variety of biologically important heterocycles. Mechanistic understanding suggests that the reaction proceeds by a nucleophilic addition of a phenylacetamide carbanion, which is generated in the presence of tert-butoxide base, to the para or ortho (if para is substituted) position of nitrobenzene. The formed α-(4-nitrocyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-yl) phenylacetamide anion intermediate oxidized by a basic solution of DMSO or atmospheric oxygen led to the desired sp3 C-H and sp2 C-H coupled α-(2/4-nitroaryl) phenylacetamides.
