Abstract

Functionalized aryl chlorides are more economically attractive but usually much more difficult as substrates in metal-mediated couplings than the corresponding bromides and iodides. A catalyst prepared from a bulky (biaryl)diphenyl phosphane and a common ruthenium source (1:1) mediates selective direct monoarylations of arenes bearing 2-pyridyl and related ortho-directing groups in good yields. Sequential arylations to heterodiarylated products also proceed in satisfactory yields.
