A convenient and new synthetic approach has been developed for the oxidative cross-coupling of the C-N bond through the reaction between arylglyoxylic acids and tetraalkylthiuram disulfides. The reaction proceeds under ambient air at room temperature in the presence of visible light. This reaction offers a metal-, base-, photocatalyst-, and solvent-free synthesis of various α-ketoamides with moderate to excellent yields via the radical pathway. In addition, this protocol demonstrates the potential application of a gram-scale synthesis.

This work describes an environmentally friendly method for the synthesis of benzoxazinones, quinoxalinones and benzothiazoles by the reaction of α-arylglyoxylic acids and -functionalized aniline. In this reaction, no other reagents are needed except for reactants and solvents. The reaction was carried out at a mild temperature of 50 °C with only water and/or carbon dioxide as the by-product.

Visible-light-promoted metal- and photocatalyst-free radical cascade cyclization of cinnamamides with α-oxocarboxylic acids is described for sustainable synthesis of diverse pharmaceutically important dihydroquinolinone scaffolds in one pot under mild conditions. The decarboxylative cascade cyclization proceeded efficiently at room temperature without the need for expensive photocatalysts such as Ir or Ru complexes, which indicates the practicability and environmentally benign nature of this protocol. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that the blue LED irradiation efficiently cleaves the I-O bond of the hypervalent iodine reagent PhI(OCCOAr) formed through ligand exchange between iodobenzene diacetate and arylglyoxylic acid to initiate the cascade reaction.

Despite the structural similarity with imines, α-iminocarboxylic acids have seldom been used in heterocycles synthesis. The reactions of -substituted anilines and arylglyoxylic acids in DMSO at 40 °C gave various benzo-fused five- to six-membered N-heterocycles in good to excellent yields. The reaction proceeds via intramolecular Michael addition of α-iminocarboxylic acids, generated in situ, with an -substituted nucleophile, yielding an isolable unprecedented tetrahedral carboxylic acids, which upon decarboxylation without any aid of additional reagents forms the N-heterocycles.

Annulation reactions of ortho-substituted anilines and arylglyoxylates in the presence of KSO at 80 °C under metal-free neutral conditions have been investigated, which extended a platform for the tandem synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles. While arylglyoxylic acids are known to undergo decarboxylation to form an acyl radical in the presence of KSO and used in the Minisci acylation of electron-deficient (hetero)aromatics, their reactions with electron-rich ortho-substituted anilines to form nitrogen heterocycles have recently been studied. Depending upon the experimental conditions used in the reactions, the mechanism of the formation of heterocycles involving reactions of an acyl radical or aryl iminocarboxylic acids has been postulated.
