An efficient system for the direct catalytic intermolecular α-arylation of acetamide derivatives with aryl bromides and chlorides is presented. The palladium catalyst is supported by Kwong's indolebased phosphine ligand and provides monoarylated amides in up to 95% yield. Excellent chemoselectivities (>10:1) in the mono- and diarylation with aryl bromides were achieved by careful selection of bases, solvents, and stoichiometry. Under the coupling conditions, the weakly acidic α-protons of amides (pK a up to 35) were reversibly depotonated by lithium tert-butoxide (LiO-t-Bu), sodium tert-butoxide (NaO-t-Bu) or sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide [NaN(SiMe3)2].
