Direct Transformation of Alkylarenes into N‐(Pyridine‐2‐yl)amides by C(sp3)–C(sp3) Bond Cleavage

C(sp3)–H bond functionalization and C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond cleavage are very challenging transformations in chemistry. Herein, we report a mild and green methodology for the construction of N‐(pyridine‐2‐yl)amides via tandem C(sp3)–H activation/C–C bond cleavage of alkylarenes. Various N‐heterocyclic amides were directly synthesized from alkylarenes in water in moderate to good yields. A mild and green methodology for the construction of N‐(pyridine‐2‐yl)amides from alkylarenes and 2‐aminopyridine in one step was developed. Various alkylarenes were directly transformed into the corresponding N‐(pyridine‐2‐yl)amides through tandem C(sp3)–H bond activation/oxidative cyclization/C–C bond cleavage.
