Abstract

Rhodium-catalyzed ortho-C-H functionalization is well known in the literature. Described herein is the Xphos-supported rhodium catalysis of meta-C-H olefination of benzylsulfonic acid and phenyl acetic acid frameworks with the assistance of a para-methoxy-substituted cyano phenol as the directing group. Complete mono-selectivity is observed for both scaffolds. A wide range of olefins and functional groups attached to arene are tolerated in this protocol.

Keywords: C−H activation; reaction kinetics; reaction mechanisms; regioselectivity; rhodium.
