title: Cobalt-catalyzed arylation of aldimines via directed C-H bond functionalization: addition of 2-arylpyridines and self-coupling of aromatic aldimines.
abstract: A cobalt-N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst, in combination with an appropriate Grignard reagent, promotes a chelation-assisted aromatic C-H functionalization reaction via addition to an aromatic aldimine.
