Transition-Metal-Free Regiospecific Aroylation of Nitroarenes Using Ethyl Arylacetates at Room Temperature
摘要:
A novel regiospecific C(sp(3))-C(sp(2)) coupling between ethyl arylacetates and nitroarenes has been developed to deliver biaryl ketones in excellent yields. The protocol is metal-free, mild, and compatible with a number of functional groups on both of the reacting partners.
