Abstract

An example of using readily available, less reactive aryl bromides as arylating reagents in the Pd(II)-catalyzed intermolecular arylation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds is described. This reaction was promoted by a crucial 8-aminoquinolinyl directing group and a K2CO3 base, enabling regiospecific installation of an aryl scaffold at the β-position of carboxamides. A mechanistic study by DFT calculations reveals a C(sp3)-H activation-led pathway featuring the oxidative addition as the highest energy transition state.
