Silver-catalyzed direct C-H oxidative carbamoylation of quinolines with oxamic acids.

A silver-catalyzed efficient and direct C-H carbamoylation of quinolines with oxamic acids to access carbamoylated quinolines has been developed through oxidative decarboxylation reaction. The reaction proceeds smoothly over a broad range of substrates with excellent functional group tolerance and excellent yields under mild conditions.

Transition-metal free C3-amidation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones using Selectfluor as a mild oxidant.

A practical and efficient synthetic route to construct a variety of 3-amidated quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones was developed via transition-metal free direct oxidative amidation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones with amidates using Selectfluor reagent as a mild oxidant. This protocol features mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, and good to excellent yields.
