title: Copper(II)-catalyzed ortho-functionalization of 2-arylpyridines with acyl chlorides.
abstract: Copper-catalyzed ortho-benzoxylation of 2-arylpyridine sp(2) C-H bonds with acyl chloride is described. Notably, switching the base from t-BuOK to Li(2)CO(3) causes chlorination of the C-H bond to take place.
