title: Iridium- and rhodium-catalyzed C-H activation and formyl arylation of benzaldehydes under chelation-assistance.
abstract: Mild and efficient synthesis of benzophenones via Ir(iii)- and Rh(iii)-catalyzed, directing group-assisted formyl C-H arylation of benzaldehydes has been achieved using diaryliodonium salts, in which Rh(iii) and Ir(iii) catalysts exhibited a complementary substrate scope.
