title: Palladium-catalyzed alkoxylation of N-methoxybenzamides via direct sp2 C-H bond activation.
abstract: The palladium-catalyzed ortho-alkoxylation of N-methoxybenzamides has been demonstrated. With the CONHOMe group as a directing group, the aromatic C-H bond can be functionalized efficiently to generate ortho-alkoxylated derivatives in moderate to good yields.
