Palladium-catalyzed C–H alkylation of 2-phenylpyridines with alkyl iodides†
Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed C–H alkylation reaction of 2-phenylpyridines with alkyl iodides has been successfully developed. The palladacycles obtained from 2-phenylpyridines should act as the key intermediates in the alkylation reaction.
