Pd(II)-catalyzed selective β-C-H functionalization of azobenzene carboxamides

Org Biomol Chem. 2023 Mar 29;21(13):2689-2694. doi: 10.1039/d2ob02261c.

Abstract

We report a Pd(II)-catalyzed bidentate directing group 8-aminoquinoline-aided, site-selective β-C-H functionalization protocol for assembling modified azobenzene carboxamides. Considering the importance of azobenzenes in chemical sciences, this paper reports a new route for enriching the library of modified azobenzene motifs.
