Ru/C‐Catalyzed Carbonylation at ortho‐C—H Bonds in 2‐Phenylpyridines.

Abstract

Pyridine derivatives R 0380Ru/C-Catalyzed Carbonylation at ortho-C-H Bonds in 2-Phenylpyridines. -The reaction of substituted 2-phenylpyridines, -pyrimidine, -oxazole and -pyrazole affords generally the monocarbonylation products. The reaction is also applicable to the carbonylation of naphthalene derivative (XIII) and 2-(2-thienyl)pyridine (XV). -(IMOTO, S.; UEMURA, T.; KAKIUCHI, F.; CHATANI*, N.; Synlett 2007, 1, 170-172; Dep.
