Rhodium(III)-catalyzed oxidative olefination of N-(1-naphthyl)sulfonamides has been achieved at the peri position. Three categories of olefins have been successfully applied. Activated olefins reacted to afford five-membered azacycles as a result of oxidative olefination鈥揾ydroamination. Unactivated olefins reacted to give the olefination product. 2-fold oxidative C鈥揅 and C鈥揘 coupling was achieved for allylbenzenes.
