Abstract

Air-oxidation of N,N-(dialkyl)acylmethylamines (1a-f) using a catalytic amount of [{Fe(salen)}2O] [salen = N,N′-bis(salicylidene) ethylenediaminato] in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol gave the corresponding α-oxo amides (2a-f) in moderate to good yields. With sodium sulphide in place of the thiol α-oxo thioamides (9a-f) were obtained as the predominant products.
