Abstract
A combination of F-TEDA-PF6 and CuBr (0.1 equiv.) provides a potent oxidant that readily oxidizes amides to provide imides at room temperature. Replacement of BF4−, the anion of Selectfluor (F-TEDA-BF4), by PF6−, dramatically reduces CuBr loading in this oxidative reaction. A possible rationale for this dramatic counterion effect is provided.
