Undirected C(sp3)?H functionalization reactions often follow site-selectivity patterns that mirror the corresponding C?H bond dissociation energies (BDEs). This often results in the functionalization of weaker tertiary C?H bonds in the presence of stronger secondary and primary bonds. An important, contemporary challenge is the development of catalyst systems capable of selectively functionalizing stronger primary and secondary C?H bonds over tertiary and benzylic C?H sites. Herein, we report a Cu catalyst that exhibits a high degree of primary and secondary over tertiary C?H bond selectivity in the amidation of linear and cyclic hydrocarbons with aroyl azides ArC(O)N3. Mechanistic and DFT studies indicate that C?H amidation involves H-atom abstraction from R-H substrates by nitrene intermediates [Cu](κ2-N,O-NC(O)Ar) to provide carbon-based radicals R. and copper(II)amide intermediates [CuII]-NHC(O)Ar that subsequently capture radicals R. to form products R-NHC(O)Ar. These studies reveal important catalyst features required to achieve primary and secondary C?H amidation selectivity in the absence of directing groups.

The addition of different carboxamides and related compounds such as urethane or urea to olefins using mercury(II) nitrate followed by sodium borohydride reduction to give the corresponding N-substituted amides, urethanes, or ureas, respectively, is described.The monoalkylated ureas, through the same amidomercuriation-demercuriation procedure, yield symmetrical and unsymmetrical N,N'-disubstituted ureas.This amidomercuriation-demercuriation process provides a new, convenient, and general method for the Markovnikov amidation of carbon-carbon double bonds.
