Coordination effect enabled palladium-catalyzed regioselective O-alkylation of 2-pyridones†
Abstract
A novel tactic for the regioselective O-alkylation of 2-pyridones has been realized through palladium catalysis in moderate to high yields. The coordination effect between palladium and nitrogen on the pyridine ring plays a versatile role.
