- ], and sulfonic acids [31]. On the other hand, nitrogen-based nucleophiles amenable to this reaction manifold have thus far been limited to nitriles in the context of Ritter-type iodo(III)amidation [29]. In light of the significance of vinylated azoles, our attention was attracted to the feasibility of

- carboxylation, C(sp2)–H alkenylation and allylation, C(sp2)–H arylation, C(sp2)–H amidation, and C(sp2)–H thiolation. Preceding the section of applications, a brief description of the structure of NHCs, nature of NHC–metal bond, and methods of preparation of NHC–Cu complexes is provided. Keywords: conjugate
- conversion occurred using either Pd–NHC or Cu–NHC alone. 2.9 C(sp2)–H amidation Chang and co-workers [96] reported an NHC–Cu-catalyzed direct amidation of C–H bonds by using N-chlorocarbamates or N-chloro-N-sodiocarbamates as amino source. In this mechanism, a copper–aryl intermediate reacts with the
- amidating reagent leading to the isolation of copper–arylcarbamato species and the desired product. The developed amidation protocol works highly efficiently and selectively over a broad range of substrates including polyfluorobenzenes, azoles, and quinoline N-oxides (Scheme 74). 2.10 C(sp2)–H thiolation

- oxidative C–H amidation, offering a straightforward access to phenanthridones (Scheme 18). The process took place upon blue LED irradiation (20–24 h at 60 °C were required) of the chosen substrates (e.g., 18.1a–d) in the presence of the Ir-based photoredox catalyst Ir[dF(CF3)ppy]2(bpy)PF6 (2.5 mol %) and a
