A catalytic synthesis of selectively substituted biaryls through sequential intermolecular coupling involving arene and ketone C–H bond functionalization

Giovanni Maestri, Nicola Della Ca and Marta Catellani


Selectively substituted biaryls containing a ketone unit are obtained under mild conditions in satisfactory yields by a simple reaction of ortho-substituted aryl iodides and ketones in the presence of palladium and norbornene as catalysts.
