The rhodium(III)-catalyzed tandem C–H olefination and cyclization of benzamides with various alkenes is described. This protocol provides direct access to highly substituted phthalides, which are known as crucial frameworks of biologically active compounds. In particular, the amide directing group containing a benzimidazole group facilitates the activation of aromatic ortho-C–H bonds leading to olefination
Oxidative alkenylation of N,N-disubstituted benzamides with alkenes accompanied by regioselective C–H bond cleavage proceeds efficiently in the presence of a Ru/Ag catalyst system together with a copper oxidant. The procedure is also applicable to phenylazoles.

Direct, oxidative metal‐catalyzed CH functionalizations of arenes are important in synthetic organic chemistry. Often, (over‐)stoichoimetric amounts of organic or inorganic oxidants have to be used in these reactions. The combination of rhodium and photoredox catalysis with visible light allows the directCH olefination of arenes. Small amounts (1 mol %) of a photoredoxcatalyst resulted in the efficient
A complete switch in the Cp*Ir(III)-catalyzed paths between C-H olefination and hydroarylation was found to be crucially dependent on the type of directing groups. This dichotomy in product distribution was correlated to the efficiency in attaining syn-coplanarity of olefin-inserted 7-membered iridacycles. Theoretical studies support our hypothesis that the degree of flexibility of this key intermediate modulates the beta-H elimination, which ultimately affords the observed chemoselectivity.
