The intramolecular dehydrogenative amidation of aliphatic amides, directed by a bidentate ligand, was developed using a copper-catalyzed sp3 C-H bond functionalization process. The reaction favors predominantly the C-H bonds of β-methyl groups over the unactivated methylene C-H bonds. Moreover, a preference for activating sp3 C-H bonds of β-methyl groups, via a five-membered ring intermediate, over the aromatic sp2 C-H bonds was also observed in the cyclometalation step. Additionally, sp3 C-H bonds of unactivated secondary sp3 C-H bonds could be functionalized by favoring the ring carbon atoms over the linear carbon atoms. Getting ahead on tams: The intramolecular dehydrogenative amidation of aliphatic amides, directed by a bidentate ligand, was developed using a copper-catalyzed sp 3 C-H bond functionalization process to deliver β-lactams. The reaction favors the C-H bonds of β-methyl groups over the unactivated methylene C-H bonds, as well as aromatic C(sp2)-H bonds and unactivated secondary C(sp3)-H bonds of rings.
