Anilide <i>ortho</i>‐Arylation by Using CH Activation Methodology

Abstract

A thousand turnovers in bi- and triaryl formation: Substituted anilides have been ortho-arylated by aryl iodides under palladium catalysis (see scheme). This method is highly tolerant of the presence of additional functional groups (FGs). Even an iodo functionality on the anilide moiety and a bromo functionality on the aryl iodide are compatible with this methodology.
