Ruthenium (II) porphyrin-catalyzed amidation of aromatic heterocycles with iminoiodanes under mild conditions (CH2Cl2, 4 Å molecular sieves, ultrasound, 40° C) was achieved in moderate to good yields (up to 84%) and conversions (up to 99%). Only the N, N- ditosylamidated product was obtained for reactions involving heteroarenes, where X= O, S, or NTs. N-Alkyl-and N-aryl-substituted pyrroles, on the other hand, were shown to give the ...
