An Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution by <i>N</i>-Methoxyamides <i>via</i> Hypervalent Iodine Intermediates

Abstract

Abstract Treatment of N-methoxyamides with hypervalent iodine compounds generates electron deficient nitrogen species which react intra- or intermolecularly with an aromatic group to give N-aryl-N-methoxyamides in good yields.
