α‐Substituted β‐acetyl amides could undergo CC bond cleavage to form α‐keto amides when treated with copper(II) chloride (CuCl 2 ) and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF 3 ⋅OEt 2 ) under an oxygen atmosphere. The yield can be increased by the addition of tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide which alone can also effect the reaction. The reaction provides a new protocol for the synthesis of α‐keto amides.
