Synthesis of bis(sigma-aryl)dirhodium(III) caprolactamates by oxidative arylation with arylboronic acids.
Recently discovered stable bis(sigma-phenyl)dirhodium(III) caprolactamate and its substituted derivatives are conveniently prepared in high yields from dirhodium(II) caprolactamate and commercially available arylboronic acids in a copper-catalyzed process.
