A rhodium(ii)/rhodium(iii) redox couple for C–H bond amination with alkylazides: a rhodium(iii)–nitrenoid intermediate with a tetradentate [14]-macrocyclic ligand

Abstract

The catalytic activity of a rhodium(ii) dimer complex, [RhII(TMAA)]2 (TMAA = tetramethyltetraaza[14]annulene), in C–H amination reactions with organic azides is explored.
