The ruthenium(II)-catalyzed C-H aminocarbonylation of N-(hetero)aryl-7-azaindoles with isocyanates is described. The excellent site selectivity at the ortho-position within the N-(hetero)aryl ring was observed to provide ortho-amidated N-(hetero)aryl-7-azaindoles under the mild reaction conditions. The resulting 7-azaindole derivatives can be readily transformed into 7-azaindoles containing carboxylic acid and alkyl amine functional groups.

Herein, we have developed a Cp*Co(III)-catalyzed cascade C-2 amidation/C-3 chlorination of indoles by leveraging the dual functionality of -chloroamides at ambient temperature. This protocol avoids the aminocarbonylation pathway that may result from the C-H functionalization of isocyanates formed via a potential Hofmann rearrangement of -chloroamides. In fact, this represents the first example of directed C-H amidation using -chloroamides as amidating agent.

The synthesis of sterically congested amides was accomplished via Cp*Co(III)-catalyzed sequential C-H bond addition to 1,3-dienes followed by aminocarbonylation with isocyanates, a coupling partner that had never been utilized in sequential C-H bond addition reactions. A variety of C-H bond reactants, internally substituted dienes, and aromatic isocyanates provided secondary amide products incorporating α-all-carbon quaternary centers. The conversion of the amide products to other useful compound classes was also demonstrated.

2-Propargyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds have been carbonylated under oxidative conditions and with the catalysis of the PdI/KI catalytic system to selectively afford previously unreported 2-(4-acylfuran-2-yl)acetamides in fair to good yields (54-81%) over 19 examples. The process takes place under relatively mild conditions and occurs via a mechanistic pathway involving C-H activation by oxidative monoamincarbonylation of the terminal triple bond of the substrates with formation of 2-ynamide intermediates, followed by 5---cyclization (via intramolecular conjugate addition of the in situ formed enolate to the 2-ynamide moiety) and aromative isomerization.

Introducing amide functional groups under mild conditions has growing importance owing to the prevalence of such moiety in biologically active molecules. Herein, we disclose a mild protocol for the directed ruthenium-catalyzed C-H aminocarbonylation with isocyanates as the amidating agents developed through high-throughput experimentation (HTE). The redox-neutral and base-free reaction is guided by weakly Lewis basic functional groups, including anilides, lactams and carbamates to access anthranilamide derivatives.
