Abstract

A nondirected amidation reaction of aromatic C-H bond was developed under iron(II) catalysis, using sulfonyl azides as the nitrogen source. The reaction displayed a broad substrate scope and good regioselectivities in the aspects of aromatic ring vs alkyl chain and different aromatic position of (alkyl)arenes. This method provided a new protocol for the synthesis of some aromatic amines, which were hard to achieve in a previous report.
