“…Aromatic aldehydes and ketones are extremely useful synthetic precursors, as they can be modified into other functional groups easily through reduction, oxidation, cycloadditions, electrophilic substitution, Wittig reaction, and such others. 16 Till now, there is still example to perform the direct C–H functionalization at remote positions of such compounds. 17 It might be that the carbonyl group is too active to be compatible with the aminating reagent.…”
