A novel Rh(III)-catalyzed C–H bond amination with the simultaneous release of a formyl group at distal positions is realized employing anthranil as a new type of C–H amination reagent. This chemistry provides an efficient protocol for the synthesis of 2-acyl diarylamines, which are important structural motifs in many bioactive compounds. This new type of C–H amination reagent possesses the advantages of high atom economy, avoids the use of external oxidants, and enables further transformation of the amination products.
