De novo syntheses of amides often generate stoichiometric amounts of waste. Thus, recent progress in the field has focused on precious metal catalyzed, oxidative protocols to generate such functionalities. However, simple tertiary alkyl amines cannot be used as starting materials in these protocols. The research described herein enables the oxidative synthesis of amides from simple, noncyclic tertiary alkyl amines under synthetically useful, mild conditions through a biologically inspired approach: Fe-catalyzed Cα-H functionalization. Mechanistic investigations provide insight into reaction intermediates and allow the development of a mild Cα-H cyanation method using the same catalyst system. The protocol was further applied to oxidize the drug Lidocaine, demonstrating the potential utility of the developed chemistry for metabolite synthesis. Let′s iron it out! The title reaction enables the oxidative synthesis of amides directly from tertiary, noncyclic alkyl amines under synthetically useful, mild conditions through a biologically inspired approach employing oxidative iron catalysis. Mechanistic studies suggest that hemiaminals are likely intermediates in this reaction and that the catalytic system can be employed for other Cα-H oxidations of amines.

N-alkyl(cycloalkyl)benzylamines, p-fluorobenzylamines, (1-phenylethyl) amines, [1-(p-fluorophenyl)ethyl]amines were synthesized by hydroamination of aldehydes and ketones with oximes.
