Rhodium-Catalyzed Regioselective C-H Amidation of Benzaldehydes with Dioxazolones: Weakly Coordinating Aldehyde as a Traceless Directing Group.

A rhodium-catalyzed C-H amidation of ortho/para-substituted benzaldehydes with dioxazolones has been developed to afford meta-substituted aromatic amides in moderate to good yields. This transformation proceeds via weakly coordinating aldehyde-direct…
