A palladium-catalyzed oxidative C–H bond functionalization/ortho-acylation of acetanilides using easily accessible aldehyde as the acyl source is described. In the presence of a Pd(TFA)2 catalyst and tert-butylhydroperoxide at 90 °C in general, an array of ortho-acylacetanilides can be afforded in good yields.

A palladium-catalyzed cascade cross-coupling of acetanilide and toluene for the synthesis of ortho-acylacetanilide is described. Toluene derivatives can act as effective acyl precursors (upon sp(3)-C-H bond oxidation by a Pd/TBHP system) in the oxidative coupling between two C-H bonds. This dehydrogenative Pd-catalyzed ortho-acylation proceeds under mild reaction conditions.
Palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling reactions between acetanilides and benzylicalcohols under aqueous conditions are reported. A wide range of benzophenone derivatives could be obtained in good to excellent yields up to 98 %. Mechanism studies showed that a bimetallic palladium cyclopalladated complex might be involved in the catalysis.

acetates with aldehydes, was presented. Simple bench-top aldehydes were used as the non-toxic acylating agents. This protocol comprises direct coupling with aldehydes without activating the carbonyl group and without the directing group assistance. The strategy was applied to a domino one-potsynthesis of 2-quinolinones via acylation and intramolecularaldolcondensation. Significantly, the strategy was extended

A systematic range of o-hydroxyphenyl ketones were reduced under asymmetrictransferhydrogenation conditions using the C3-tethered catalyst 2. Two directing effects, i.e., an o-hydroxyphenyl coupled to a bulky aromatic on the opposite side of the ketone substrate, combine in a matched manner to deliver reduction products with very high enantiomeric excess.
