Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed CÀH functionalization/halogenation is a particularly useful method for producing halogenated aromatic products with selectivity that would not ordinarily be obtained under simple electrophilic halogenation conditions (Scheme 1).[1] A significant advance in this area was reported by Shi and co-workers who demonstrated that anilides could be ortho chlorinated in good to excellent yields using Pd-(OAc) 2 as the catalyst and ...
