A highly efficient Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative ortho-arylation of amides with aryl acylperoxides†
Abstract
An efficient Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative ortho-arylation of amides with aryl acylperoxides was developed. A variety of anilides reacted with aryl acylperoxides to afford the corresponding ortho-arylation products, and N-methoxyarylamides generated phenanthridinones.
