The reaction is mediated by CuI and NaHCO<inf>3</inf>in acetonitrile. Room temperature amidation of the synthesized 1,3-benzodioxinones with primary amines readily afforded the corresponding salicylamides in moderate to good yields. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2021.AminesCopper compoundsEstersIodine compoundsOrganic pollutantsSodium compoundsAmidationDirect synthesisFunctionalizedPrimary aminesSalicylamidesSalicylic acidSynthesis of functionalized benzo[1,3]dioxin-4-ones from salicylic acid and acetylenic esters and their direct amidation
