Ru(ii)-catalyzed intermolecular ortho-C–H amidation of aromatic ketones with sulfonyl azides

Abstract

Ru(II)-catalyzed intermolecular ortho-C-H amidation of weakly coordinating aromatic ketones with sulfonyl azides is reported. The developed reaction protocol can be extended to various substituted aromatic ketones to afford a wide range of desired C-N bond formation products in good yields.
