Phthalazinone-Assisted C–H Amidation Using Dioxazolones Under Rh(III) Catalysis

The preparation of phthalazinone derivatives is pivotal for their utilization as pharmaceutical agents and other entities. Herein, we report the phthalazinone-assisted carbon-nitrogen bond forming reaction using dioxazolones as robust amidation sources under Rh(III) catalysis. The broad functional group tolerance and complete site-selectivity are observed. Notably, a series of transformations of synthesized compounds into biologically relevant N-heterocycles demonstrates the applicability of the developed methodology.
