Abstract
Herein, we report a general method for copper-catalyzed N-arylation of isatoic anhydrides with unsymmetrical iodonium salts at room temperature. The developed catalytic protocol is mild and operationally simple, and aryl(TMP)iodonium trifluoroacetate is employed as the arylating partner. The methodology offers the broad applicability of both structurally and electronically diverse aryl groups from aryl(TMP)iodonium salts to access N-arylated isatoic anhydrides in moderate to excellent yields (53-92%). Moreover, the substituted isatoic anhydrides are equally compatible with the protocol too. To demonstrate the synthetic utilities of the N-arylation process, we also report an alternative approach for biologically relevant fenamic acid derivatives and N,N'-diarylindazol-3-ones in a one-pot step economical system. In addition, the scale-up synthesis of flufenamic acid is also illustrated.
