title: MnO2 promoted sequential C-O and C-N bond formation via C-H activation of methylarenes: a new approach to amides.
abstract: A novel and efficient approach for the synthesis of amides has been developed through manganese dioxide promoted nondirected C-H activation of methylarenes under mild reaction conditions employing N-chloroamines as effective coupling partners.
