Abstract

Abstract: An efficient system for the direct catalytic intermolecular α-arylation of acetamide derivatives with aryl bromides and chlorides is presented. The palladium catalyst is supported by Kwong s indolebased phosphine ligand and provides monoarylated amides in up to 95% yield. Excellent chemoselectivities (> 10: 1) in the mono-and diarylation with aryl bromides were achieved by careful selection of bases, solvents, and stoichiometry. Under ...
