Described herein is a convenient and efficient method for sulfuration and olefination of aromatic ketazines via rhodium-catalyzed oxidative C-H bond activation. A range of substituted substrates are supported, and a possible mechanism is proposed according to experimental results of kinetic isotopic effect, reversibility studies, and catalysis of rhodacycle intermediate c1.
