title: Ru(II)-catalyzed intermolecular C-H amidation of weakly coordinating ketones.
abstract: An efficient Ru(II)-catalyzed intermolecular amidation of weakly coordinating ketones with sulfonyl azides via C-H bond activation is described. The reaction proceeds with high functional group tolerance, providing a novel approach to practical ketone-directed intermolecular C-N bond formation in the absence of an additional oxidant.
