A palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with 2-chlorobenzoic acids has been developed. The reaction forms C(sp3), C(sp2)-palladacycles through C(sp3)–H activation. The palladacycles react with 2-chlorobenzoic acids through two successive C–C cross-couplings, and two C–C bonds are formed with high chemoselectivity. The reaction provides an innovative method for the synthesis of
