Pd(II)-catalyzed Cross-coupling of C(sp2)–H Bonds and Alkyl–, Aryl–, and Vinyl–Boron Reagents via Pd(II)/Pd(0) Catalysis

Abstract

Pd(II)-catalyzed cross-coupling of <i>ortho</i>-C-H bonds in benzoic acid and phenylacetic acid amides with alkyl-, aryl- and vinyl-boron reagents have been achieved <i>via</i> Pd(II)/Pd(0) catalysis, demonstrating the unprecedented versatility of C-H activation reactions.
