title: Direct carbo-acylation reactions of 2-arylpyridines with α-diketones via Pd-catalyzed C-H activation and selective C(sp2)-C(sp2) cleavage.
abstract: An efficient carbo-acylation reaction of 2-arylpyridines with α-diketones via Pd-catalyzed C-H bond activation and C-C bond cleavage in the presence of TBHP was developed that generated aryl ketones in good yields. The highly selective formation of aryl ketones was observed when 2-arylpyridines reacted with aromatic/aliphatic α-diketones.
