Intramolecular C−H Amination Reactions: Exploitation of the Rh2(II)-Catalyzed Decomposition of Azidoacrylates
Abstract

Rhodium(II) perfluorobutyrate-mediated decomposition of vinyl azides provides a new, mild entry into Rh2(II) nitrenoid chemistry. This methodology allows rapid access to a variety of complex, functionalized N-heterocycles in two steps from commercially available starting materials.
