“…The reaction of the N -dithiocarbamate derived from rimantadine delivered 13 as the sole product in good yield, with no functionalization of the adamantyl core that is the major product of intermolecular C–H functionalization of related substrates. [6a,6b,7,18] A gemfibrozil derived substrate afforded 14 , demonstrating successful C–H dithiocarbamylation in the presence of an electron-rich arene prone to react with the strong oxidants common to HLF-type reactions. The C–H functionalization of substrates derived from the amino acids norleucine and valine provided products 12 and 15 , respectively, with functionalizations at either secondary or primary C–H sites, providing avenues for unnatural amino acid synthesis.…”
