Abstract

This report described the first DMAP and PivOH-promoted ortho-C-H amination and ipso-allenization reaction of iodobenzenes realized by Pd/norbornene cooperative catalysis. Based on control experiments and DFT calculations, we speculated that the three ligands have different functions and mechanism paths in the reaction.
