Abstract
An efficient amidation of electron-rich arenes using NFSI as a nitrogen source has been successfully disclosed. This amidation process can be easily conducted at elevated temperatures, without the need for catalysts or additives. A wide range of arenes substituted with hydroxy, alkoxy, or carbonyl groups were found to be compatible, yielding the desired amination products. Computational study shows that the amidation proceeds via an electrophilic aromatic substitution pathway, comprising a three-step process that includes substitution, addition, and elimination, which differs slightly from the classical mechanism.
