Palladium‐Catalyzed Regioselective <i>ortho</i>‐Acylation of Azoxybenzenes with Aldehyde Derivatives

Abstract

Abstract An efficient strategy for the regioselective ortho ‐acylation of azoxybenzenes with various aldehydes in the presence of palladium catalysts has been developed and furnishes good to excellent yields. The reaction proceeds smoothly and can tolerate a variety of functional groups. magnified image
