Rhodium-catalysed direct ortho arylation of 2-arylpyridines with arylstannanes via C–H activation

Abstract

The ortho position of the aromatic ring of pyridyl group-substituted aromatic compounds was directly arylated with tetraarylstannanes in the presence of a catalytic amount of a rhodium(I)–phosphine complex.
