title: nBu4NI-catalyzed direct synthesis of α-ketoamides from aryl methyl ketones with dialkylformamides in water using TBHP as oxidant.
abstract: A novel and easy practical direct synthesis of α-ketoamides has been developed without metals in water. This procedure was catalyzed by nBu(4)NI using TBHP as oxidant from simple substrates, aryl methyl ketones and dialkylformamides.
