Recently, amides have attracted more and more attention due to their extensive
, entries 2, 3, 5, and 9). To further extend the adaptability of this transformation, other methylarenes were also checked under the standard conditions. Pleasingly, m-xylene and p-xylene afforded the desired product 3 successfully, but in lower yields (Table 2, entries 10 and 11). In the same manner, we
