A copper-catalyzed approach for the synthesis of 1-acyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidines through the C–C bond cleavage of cyclic or acyclic ketones was developed. In this chemistry, a combination of CuCl2·2H2O, 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate, and aniline was crucial for the formation of the desired products by the reaction of ketones with TEMPO. This research provides a new strategy for the further transformation of α-aryl cyclic or acyclic ketones.
