Something functional: The title reaction proceeds in the presence of azide and water to deliver amides in high yields, and it can be used in a ring-expansion strategy to generate lactams. A mechanism is proposed based on experimental results. This reaction offers a new approach to functionalizing simple and readily available hydrocarbons. DDQ = 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone.
