Abstract: | Transformation of N‐alkylated anilines to N‐aryloxamates was studied using ethyl 2‐diazoacetoacetate as an alkylating agent and dirhodium tetraacetate (Rh2(OAc)4) as the catalyst. The general applicability of the reaction as a synthetic method for N‐aryloxamates was studied with a number of substituted N‐alkylated anilines. The results revealed that the oxamate was formed by a radical reaction with molecular O2 and Rh2(OAc)4 as initiator. |
