title: Rhodium-catalyzed direct ortho C-N bond formation of aromatic azo compounds with azides.
abstract: An efficient rhodium-catalyzed regioselective C-N bond formation of azo compounds in good to excellent yields through C-H bond functionalization using azides as the nitrogen source was developed. Alkyl, aryl, and sulfonyl azides could be efficiently assembled in this reaction with excellent functional group tolerance.
