ChemInform Abstract: Mechanochemical Iridium(III)-Catalyzed C—H Bond Amidation of Benzamides with Sulfonyl Azides under Solvent-Free Conditions in a Ball Mill.
The mechanochemical activation enables the formation of an iridium species that catalyzes the ortho-selective amidation of benzamides with various sulfonyl azides in excellent yields within short times.
