6/7-membered amides via intramolecular amidation of aryl chlorides catalyzed by a Buchwald–Hartwig second generation Pd catalyst (Xphos Pd G2) has been successfully developed. This catalyst system allows the primaryamides which have only modest nucleophilicity to be coupled successfully even with electron rich aryl chlorides in short reaction time. The intramolecular amidationreaction also has good
