Palladium-catalyzed ligand for sterically enabled nondirected distal-selective C-H arylation of arenes
摘要
Regioselective C-H functionalization reactions have emerged as one of the most efficient strategies for the synthesis and modification of organic molecules. However, nondirected regioselective C-H functionalization reactions remain a significant challenge. In this study, we report a novel tetrahydrophenazine-based ligand that enables regioselective meta- or para-C-H arylation of aromatic compounds, attributed to the enhanced steric effects imparted by its scaffold. This strategy facilitates the late-stage modification of pharmaceutical molecules, offering a new model for nondirected site-selective C-H activation.
