Abstract

Abstract An efficient palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative ortho-acylation of 2- aryloxypyridines with α-oxocarboxylic acids is described. In this new transformation, the aromatic C (sp 2)[BOND] H bond was successfully acylated to give diverse aromatic ketones regioselectively in moderate to good yields. The pyridine group can be removed easily after the acylation to give the corresponding 2-hydroxy aromatic ketones.
