Abstract

Versatile manganese-catalyzed C–H arylations on synthetically meaningful pyridines were accomplished with sustainable MnCl2 as the catalyst. The oxidative C–H functionalizations proved viable with a user-friendly and safe continuous flow setup by weak amide-assisted C–H cleavage via a facile C–H activation regime.
