Palladium‐Catalyzed CH Bond Functionalization of a Metal–Organic Framework (MOF): Mild, Selective, and Efficient

Abstract

Mild-mannered MOFs: A selective and efficient palladium-catalyzed CH phenylation of a UMCM-1-type metal–organic framework (MOF) under mild conditions is reported. This highly regioselective postsynthetic modification obviates the need for a pre-existing classical functional group at the reaction site (see scheme). The concept of site-specific CH activation could potentially be extended to many classes of MOF structures.
