title: A Unique Alkylation of Azobenzenes with Allyl Acetates by Rh(III)-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization.
abstract: A novel Rh(III)-catalyzed direct alkylation of azobenzenes with allyl acetates through C-H activation and functionalization is demonstrated in which the allyl acetates serve as unique alkylation agents. The rhodium-catalyzed alkylation provides a highly efficient and atom-economic approach to a series of azo compounds.
