Dioxazolones and isocyanides are useful synthetic building blocks, and have attracted significant attention from researchers. However, the silver-catalyzed nitrene transfer reaction of dioxazolones has not been investigated to date. Herein, a silver-catalyzed acyl nitrene transfer reaction involving dioxazolones, isocyanides, and water was realized in the presence of Ag2O to afford a series of N-acylureas in moderate to good yields.

Direct synthetic routes to amidines are desired, as they are widely present in many biologically active compounds and organometallic complexes. N-Acyl amidines in particular can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of heterocycles and have several other applications. Here, we describe a fast and practical copper-catalyzed three-component reaction of aryl acetylenes, amines, and easily accessible 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones to N-acyl amidines, generating CO2 as the only byproduct. Transformation of the dioxazolones on the Cu catalyst generates acyl nitrenes that rapidly insert into the copper acetylide Cu-C bond rather than undergoing an undesired Curtius rearrangement. For nonaromatic dioxazolones, [Cu(OAc)(Xantphos)] is a superior catalyst for this transformation, leading to full substrate conversion within 10 min. For the direct synthesis of N-benzoyl amidine derivatives from aromatic dioxazolones, [Cu(OAc)(Xantphos)] proved to be inactive, but moderate to good yields were obtained when using simple copper(I) iodide (CuI) as the catalyst. Mechanistic studies revealed the aerobic instability of one of the intermediates at low catalyst loadings, but the reaction could still be performed in air for most substrates when using catalyst loadings of 5 mol %. The herein reported procedure not only provides a new, practical, and direct route to N-acyl amidines but also represents a new type of C-N bond formation.

The classical Lossen rearrangement converts activated hydroxamic acids to isocyanates that form numerous products upon their reaction with nucleophiles. We report a simple and highly efficient method of using Heck reaction conditions to initiate Lossen rearrangements of hydroxamic acids. In addition, Lossen rearrangements occur in the presence of palladium(II) acetate or triethylamine, components of the Heck reaction, alone. A potential mechanism is provided to explain this reactivity and these results show that Heck reactions and Lossen rearrangements occur under the same conditions and may provide new methods for facile initiation of Lossen rearrangements.
