Pd(II)-catalyzed decarboxylative acylation of phenylacetamides with α-oxocarboxylic acids via C-H bond activation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Feb 25;49(16):1654-6. doi: 10.1039/c3cc38764j.

Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative acylation of phenylacetamides with α-oxocarboxylic acids via C-H bond activation is described. This protocol provides efficient access to a range of ortho-acyl phenylacetamides, which can be easily converted to 3-isochromanone derivatives.
