We　present　an　approach　for　ortho　C(sp2)-H　acylation　and　intramolecular　amination　reactions,　employing　4amino-benzotriazole　(ABTA)　as　a　bidentate　directing　group.　This　method　is　facilitated　by　a　palladium　catalyst　in　combination　with　iodobenzene　diacetate.　Our　approach　efficiently　yields　acetoxylation　and　intramolecular　amination　products　from　a　variety　of　acylamide　substrates,　including　arylcarboxamides　and　arylacetamides.
