The N-acyloxyamides were employed as effective N-acyl nitrene precursors in reactions with thioethers under the catalysis of a commercially available Ru(II) complex, from which a variety of sulfimides were synthesized efficiently and mildly. If an allyl group is contained in the thioether precursor, the [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the sulfimide occurs simultaneously and the N-allyl-N-(thio)amides were obtained as the final products. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that the Ru-nitrenoid species should be a key intermediate in the transformation.
Rhodium-catalyzed C-H alkynylation of arenes at room temperature

The rhodium(III)-catalyzed ortho C-H alkynylation of non-electronically activated arenes is disclosed. This process features a straightforward and highly effective protocol for the synthesis of functionalized alkynes and represents the first example of merging a hypervalent iodine reagent with rhodium(III) catalysis. Notably, this reaction proceeds at room temperature, tolerates a variety of functional groups, and more importantly, exhibits high selectivity for monoalkynylation. Hot rhod: A rhodium-catalyzed, electronically reversed Sonogashira reaction between unbiased arenes and the hypervalent iodine reagent 1 proceeds through C-H activation. This reaction displays excellent functional-group tolerance and high efficiency, and thus opens a new synthetic pathway to access functionalized alkynes.

Directing groups that can act as internal oxidants have recently been shown to be beneficial in metal-catalyzed heterocycle syntheses that undergo C-H functionalization. Pursuant to the rhodium(III)-catalyzed redox-neutral isoquinolone synthesis that we recently reported, we present in this article the development of a more reactive internal oxidant/directing group that can promote the formation of a wide variety of isoquinolones at room temperature while employing low catalyst loadings (0.5 mol %). In contrast to previously reported oxidative rhodium(III)-catalyzed heterocycle syntheses, the new conditions allow for the first time the use of terminal alkynes. Also, it is shown that the use of alkenes, including ethylene, instead of alkynes leads to the room temperature formation of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolones. Mechanistic investigations of this new system point to a change in the turnover limiting step of the catalytic cycle relative to the previously reported conditions. Concerted metalation-deprotonation (CMD) is now proposed to be the turnover limiting step. In addition, DFT calculations conducted on this system agree with a stepwise C-N bond reductive elimination/N-O bond oxidative addition mechanism to afford the desired heterocycle. Concepts highlighted by the calculations were found to be consistent with experimental results.
