Abstract

A traceless protecting strategy enables a palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of carboxylic aids and secondary amides with aryl halides. Both coupling processes occur with various carboxylic acids and amides and with a variety of aryl bromides containing a broad range of functional groups, including base-sensitive functionality like acyl, alkoxycarbonyl, nitro, cyano, and even hydroxyl groups.
