Rhodium(II) can effectively promote the activation and cyclization of arylcarbamate substrates to yield benzoxazolones via an intramolecular nitrene C-H insertion reaction. Investigation of the substrate scope shows that the reaction undergoes selective aromatic C(sp(2))-H amination over more labile o-C(sp(3))-H bonds. Observation of inverse secondary KIE (P-H/P-D = 0.42 +/- 0.03) indicates involvement of aromatic electrophilic substitution mechanism for this aryl C-H amidation transformation.
