Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Intermolecular C-H Carbonylation toward Amides

The amide linkage is one of the most important structural moieties in both chemistry and biology. Here, we briefly discuss recent advances in catalytic intermolecular C-H carbonylation reactions for the synthesis of amides, with particular attention to our intermolecular C-H amidation of arenes with carbon monoxide and organic azides to produce amides.
