Iridium-Catalyzed Phosphoramidation of Arene C–H Bonds with Phosphoryl Azide

An iridium-catalyzed phosphoramidation of arene C–H bonds with phosphoryl azide as the amino source is described. The direct C–H phosphoramidation of arenes bearing pyridinyl, pyrazoyl, and quinolinyl as the directing group has good functional group tolerance and occurs smoothly under mild conditions, providing N-aryl phosphoramidates in good yields.
