A novel copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative C(CO)-C(alkyl) bond cleavage reaction of aryl alkyl ketones for C-N bond formation is described. A series of acetophenone derivatives as well as more challenging aryl ketones with long-chain alkyl substituents could be selectively cleaved and converted into the corresponding amides, which are frequently found in biologically active compounds and pharmaceuticals.
