(Chemical Equation Presented) The identity of the ortho-substituent of an aryl azide influences its reactivity toward transition metals. Substitution of a vinyl group with an imine disables rhodium(II)-mediated C-H amination and triggers a Lewis acid mechanism catalyzed by iron(II) bromide to facilitate benzimidazole formation.
