title: Cp*Rh(III) -Catalyzed Arylation of C(sp(3) )-H Bonds.
abstract: The first Cp*Rh(III) -catalyzed arylation of unactivated C(sp(3) )-H bonds is presented. The unactivated primary C(sp(3) )-H bond of 2-alkylpyridines can be activated by Rh(III) and further reacts with triarylboroxines to efficiently build new C(sp(3) )-aryl bonds. The methodology also provides a facile and efficient synthesis of unsymmetrical triarylmethanes by Rh(III) -catalyzed C(sp(3) )-H arylation of diarylmethanes.
