title: Rh[III]-catalyzed direct C-H amination using N-chloroamines at room temperature.
abstract: An efficient Rh(III)-catalyzed direct C-H amination of N-pivaloyloxy benzamides with N-chloroamines proceeding at room temperature was achieved. The versatile directing group allows for selective mono- and diamination and can be readily converted to give valuable benzamide or aminoaniline derivatives. Mechanistic studies have been carried out to elucidate the reaction pathway.
