title: Selective unusual Pd-mediated biaryl coupling reactions: solvent effects with carbonate bases.
abstract: A one-step Pd-catalyzed reaction performed on an o-bromobenzamide permitted the selective formation of either phenanthridinones 2 via an ipso substitution or new phenanthridinone-1-carboxamides 3 through a direct N-arylation. A direct correlation between the solvent polarity and the carbonate base on the selectivity has been observed. The proposed catalytic cycle involves the initial formation of a common intermediate and depends on the base assistance.
