Abstract
N-Boc- and N-Cbz-protected amines can be directly converted into amides by a novel rhodium-catalyzed coupling with arylboroxines. Both protected anilines and aliphatic amines are efficiently transformed into a wide variety of secondary benzamides, including sterically hindered and electron-deficient amides. The reaction tolerates acid-labile and reducible functional groups.
