Rhodium(iii)-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation of benzamides with carbon monoxide

Abstract

An efficient strategy for the oxidative carbonylation of aromatic amidesvia C–H/N–H activation to form phthalimides using an Rh(III) catalyst has been developed. The reaction shows a preference for C–H bonds of electron-rich aromatic amides and tolerates a variety of functional groups.
