Paper
The direct sulfenylation and sulfonylation of (sp2)C–H bonds of benzamide derivatives were achieved using a Ni catalyst with the aid of an 8-aminoquinoline moiety as a bidentate directing group. These protocols represent a convenient route for the formation of valuable diaryl sulfides and sulfones in moderate to excellent yields.
