Abstract
"Chemical Equation Presented" Insertion of benzene rings into the amide bond using the reactive intermediate benzyne is described. Aromatic amides undergo smooth insertion when treated with O-triflatophenyl silane benzyne precursors, producing versatile aminobenzophenone products in good to excellent yield. The process is entirely metal-free and has been exemplified on the synthesis of biologically active acridones and acridines. © 2010 American Chemical Society.
