Rhodium acetate effectively promotes the carboxylate‐directed ortho‐arylation of (hetero)aromatic carboxylates with aryl bromides. The main advantage of this phosphine‐free, redox‐neutral method arises from its efficiency in assembling biologically meaningful electron‐rich arylpyridines, which are problematic substrates in known C−H arylations using Pd, Ru, and Ir catalysts.
Highly para-selective palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of phenols with aryl iodides was demonstrated by taking advantage of the formal inverse direct arylation strategy. A series of 4-aryl phenols were synthesised by employing water as a “green” solvent under mild reaction conditions.
