Room temperature palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative ortho-acylation of acetanilides with alpha-oxocarboxylic acids
Abstract
A novel Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative ortho-acylation of acetanilides with alpha-oxocarboxylic acids is realized at room temperature. This reaction provides efficient access to o-acyl acetanilides under mild conditions.
