A method for dirhodium-catalyzed C(sp3)-H amidation of N,N-dimethylanilines was developed. Chemoselective C(sp3)-H amidation of N-methyl group proceeded exclusively in the presence of C(sp2)-H bonds of the electron-rich aromatic ring. Site-selective C(sp3)-H amidation proceeded exclusively at the N-methyl group of N-methyl-N-alkylaniline derivatives with secondary, tertiary, and benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds α to a nitrogen atom.
