Room-temperature Cu(<scp>ii</scp>)-catalyzed aromatic C–H azidation for the synthesis of ortho-azido anilines with excellent regioselectivity

Abstract

Cu(ii)-catalyzed aromatic C-H azidation with azido-benziodoxolone under mild conditions has been described. The primary amine exhibits an excellent ortho-directing effect, providing ortho-azidated anilines as the sole products.
