Copper(I) bromide catalyzed direct
C–H arylation of cyclic
enamides was achieved using diaryliodonium salts in the absence of
base/additive at ambient temperature with high yields. A biologically
active dihydro[a]benzocarbazole scaffold was
synthesized using the established protocol. The scope of the current
methodology was further extended for the synthesis of C4-, C7-aryl-substituted
1-naphthyl acetamides in good yields.
