In short order: A copper‐catalyzed Friedel–Crafts‐type strategy has been developed for the title reaction. An iterative CH arylation strategy has also been demonstrated for the functionalization of anilines by sequentially delivering different aromatic groups to the para, ortho, and meta positions (see scheme, Bn=benzyl, Piv=pivaloyl).

For over a century, chemical transformations of benzenederivatives have been guided by the high selectivity for electrophilic attack at the ortho/para positions in electron-rich substrates and at the meta position in electron-deficient molecules. We have developed a copper-catalyzed arylation reaction that, in contrast, selectively substitutes phenyl electrophiles at the aromatic carbon–hydrogen sites

DFT calculations suggest that the unexpected meta product in the copper-catalyzed arylation of anilide is formed via a Heck-like four-membered-ring transition state involving a Cu(III)-Ph species. A competitive electrophilic substitution mechanism delivers the ortho product when a methoxy group is present at the meta position of pivanilide. A series of experiments including kinetic studies support
AbstractAn efficient o‐arylation of pivalamides by aryl iodides via rhodium(III)‐catalyzed C–H activation is demonstrated for the first time. Further, the biaryl products can be converted effectively into biologically active phenanthridine and phenanthridinone derivative.magnified image
