Salicylic acids are shown to be readily available and versatile starting materials that easily undergo a tandem arylation–protodecarboxylation process under Pd-catalysis. The corresponding meta-arylphenols can subsequently be easily transformed into a variety of meta-functionalized biaryls, highlighting the versatility of this approach to access this structural motif.
水杨酸被证明是易得且多功能的起始物质,可以在钯催化下轻松地经历串联芳基化-质子脱羧过程。随后,相应的间位芳基酚可以轻松转化为各种间位功能化的联芳烃,突显了这种方法进入这种结构基元的多功能性。
