Abstract

A novel and reliable method for the direct preparation of 2,2-dihalo-N-phenylacetamides is reported. The key transformation involves the cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond in the presence of DIB and a Lewis acid as the halogen source, and thus this method significantly expands the value of DIB as a unique and powerful tool in chemical synthesis. This protocol not only adds a new aspect to reactions that use other hypervalent iodine reagents but also provides a wide space for the synthesis of disubstituted acetamides.

Keywords: (diacetoxyiodo)benzene; 3-oxo-N-phenylbutanamides; cleavage of carbon–carbon bond; difunctionalized acetamides; novel oxidation
