Abstract:
A mild, oxidant‐free, and selective Cp*CoIII‐catalyzed amidation of thioamides with robust dioxazolone amidating agents via C(sp3)−H bond activation to generate the desired amidated products is reported. The method is efficient and allows for the C−H amidation of a wide range of functionalized thioamides with aryl‐, heteroaryl‐, and alkyl‐substituted dioxazolones under the Cp*CoIII‐catalyzed conditions. The observed regioselectivity towards primary C(sp3)−H activation is supported by computational studies and the cyclometalation is proposed to proceed by means of an external carboxylate‐assisted concerted metalation/deprotonation mechanism. The reported method is a rare example of the use of a directing group other than the commonly used pyridine and quinolone classes for Cp*CoIII‐catalyzed C(sp3)−H functionalization and the first to exploit thioamides.
