Abstract

Higly efficient hydroarylation and hydroalkylation of styrenes with various arenes and 1, 3- dicarbonyl compounds respectively have been developed using Amberlyst-15 as a heterogeneous catalyst. The excellent yields, short reaction times, and high selectivity are the advantages of this method. The C–H functionalization has been achieved here under metal-free conditions.
