Rhodium(III)‐Catalyzed Azidation and Nitration of Arenes by CH Activation

Abstract

Getting a handle on it: In the chelation-assisted title reactions in the presence of a hypervalent iodine oxidant, sodium azide and sodium nitrite served as readily available nitrogen sources, and pyridine, pyrimidine, and pyrazole substituents were efficient directing groups (DGs; see scheme; Cp*=C5Me5). The synthetic utility of the azidation products was demonstrated in subsequent functional-group transformations.
