title: Efficient intermolecular iron-catalyzed amidation of C-H bonds in the presence of N-bromosuccinimide.
abstract: We have developed an efficient, inexpensive, and air-stable catalyst/oxidant (FeCl2/NBS) system that could efficiently promote amidation of benzylic sp3 C-H bonds in ethyl acetate under mild conditions.
