Carbon-hydrogen bonds intermolecular amidation

Like carbene insertions into carbon-hydrogen bonds, metal nitrene insertions occur in both intermolecular and intramolecular reactions.For intermole-cular reactions, a manganese(III) meio-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrm complex gives high product yields and turnovers up to 2600 amidations could be effected directly with amides using PhI(OAc)2 (Eq. 51). The most exciting development in intramolecular C—H reactions thus far has been the oxidative cychzation of sulfamate esters (e.g., Eq. 52), as well as carbamates (to oxazolidin-2-ones), ° and one can expect further developments that are of synthetic...
