The radical reactions of N-(2-halogenoalkanoyl)-substituted anilines (anilides) of type 1 have been investigated under various conditions. Treatment of compounds 1a-1o with Bu3SnH in the presence of (2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) afforded a mixture of the indolones (oxindoles) 2a-2o and the reduction products 5a-5o (Table 1). In contrast, the N-unsubstituted anilides 1p-1s, 1u, and 1v gave the corresponding reduction products exclusively (Table 1). Similar results were obtained by treatment of 1 with Ni powder (Table 2) or wth Et3B (Table 3). Anilides with longer N-(phenylalkyl) chains such as 6 and 7 were inert towards radical cyclization, with the exception of N-benzyl-2-bromo-N,2-dimethylpropanamide (6b), which, upon treatment with Ni powder in i-PrOH, afforded the cyclized product 9b in low yield (Table 4). Upon irradiation, the extended anilides 6, 7, 10, and 11 yielded the corresponding dehydrobromination products exclusively (Table 5).

A novel general method for the synthesis of oxindoles, namely the 'azirine/oxindole ring enlargement via amidinium-intermediates' has been established: the reaction of 2H-azirin-3-amines 1 with BF3· OEt2 in THF solution at -78° leads

2A palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of amides is reported. Intermolecular arylation of N,N-dimethylamides and lactams occurs using aryl halides, silylamide base, and a palladium catalyst. Intramolecular arylation of N-(2-halophenyl)amides occurs using alkoxide base and a palladium catalyst. The palladium catalyst was formed in situ from Pd(dba)2 (dba = trans,trans-dibenzylidene acetone) and BINAP (2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene). Although the intermolecular arylation of amides is less general than that reported previously for ketones, unfunctionalized and electron-rich aryl halides gave α-arylamides in 48-75% yield and N-methyl-α-phenylpyrrolidinone in 49% yield. These reactions provided the highest yields yet reported for regioselective amide arylations. Intramolecular amide arylation of 2-bromoanilides gave oxindoles in 52-82% yield. Mono- and disubstituted acetanilides gave 1,3-di- and 1,3,3-trisubstituted oxindoles. The use of dioxane, rather than THF, solvent was important for some of the amide arylations.
