title: High-yielding, versatile, and practical [Rh(III)Cp*]-catalyzed ortho bromination and iodination of arenes.
abstract: We report a uniquely high-yielding, general, and practical ortho bromination and iodination reaction of different classes of aromatic compounds. This reaction occurs by Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H bond activation methodology and is therefore the first example of the application of this cationic catalyst for C-Br and C-I bond formation.
