A ligand‐promoted RhIII‐catalyzed C(sp2)−H activation/thiolation of benzamides has been developed. Using bidentate mono‐N‐protected amino acid ligands led to the first example of RhIII‐catalyzed aryl thiolation reactions directed by weakly coordinating directing amide groups. The reaction tolerates a broad range of amides and disulfide reagents.

selective annulation of benzamides with internal alkynes has been achieved to the formation of O-cyclized isochromen-imines. Various substituents are well-tolerated under mild reaction conditions. Density functional theory calculations indicate that silver carbonate could act as a Lewis acid to assist the ligand to improve the chemical selectivity of the reaction in a catalyticsystem.
Ligand development for rhodium(III)‐catalyzed C−Hactivation reactions has largely been limited to cyclopentadienyl (Cp) based scaffolds. 2‐Methylquinoline has now been identified as a feasible ligand that can coordinate to the metal center of Cp*RhCl to accelerate the cleavage of the C−H bond of N‐pentafluorophenylbenzamides, providing a new structural lead for ligand design.
