Abstract

Abstract It has been found that the cross-coupling reaction of salicylaldehydes with aryl iodides smoothly proceeds by using a catalyst system of PdCl2/LiCl in the presence of Na2CO3 as base to give the corresponding 2-aroylphenols in good yields, which appears to involve cleavage of the aldehyde C–H bond.
