Palladium catalysed cross-dehydrogenative-coupling of 1,3,5-trialkoxybenzenes with simple arenes†
Abstract
Pd-catalysed cross-dehydrogenative coupling of 1,3,5-trialkoxybenzenes with simple aromatic hydrocarbons is reported. The method enables the coupling of two aromatic C–H positions to generate multi-ortho-substituted biaryls.
