AROMATIC HYDROXYLATION OF BENZYLAMIDES BY POTASSIUM SUPEROXIDE
Galliani, Guido,Rindone, Bruno
, p. 2313 - 2318 (1981)
N-benzylamides react with potassium superoxide in benzene in presence of 18-crown-6 ether to give ortho and para hydroxylated products.A mechanism is proposed for this reaction, involving the nucleophilic attack of superoxide anion to amide carbonyl and hydrogen abstraction from benzyle methylene by the substrate-superoxide adduct.
