title: TBHP-mediated highly efficient dehydrogenative cross-oxidative coupling of methylarenes with acetanilides.
abstract: A TBHP-mediated dehydrogenative cross-oxidative-coupling approach has been developed for the synthesis ofN-arylbenzamides from methylarenes and acetanilides. This cross-coupling method is free of transition metal catalysts and ligands, and no extra organic solvents are required, which make it an useful and attractive strategy for the straightforward construction of C-N bonds. Besides, this conversion is an important complement to the conventional C-N forming strategies.
