title: Palladium-catalyzed oxidative sp2 C-H bond acylation with alcohols.
abstract: An efficient method was developed for the direct acylation of arene sp(2) C-H bonds with alcohols using palladium chloride as a catalyst and peroxide as the oxidant. The alcohols were oxidized to their corresponding aldehydes in situ and efficiently coupled with 2-arylpyridines to give aryl ketones in chlorobenzene.
