Selective C(sp3)–H Monoarylation Catalyzed by a Covalently Cross-Linked Reverse Micelle-Supported Palladium Catalyst

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/adsc.201700707

In this work, we illustrate the performance of a solvated micelle-supported ligand as a platform for coordination with palladium for C–H arylation. The micelle-supported ligand is one of the first applications of a micelle-supported ligand for C–H arylation, and provides a tunable support for future elaboration. The use of a spatially constrained system promoted selectivity trends influenced by both the sterics and electronics of the system, differing from the homogeneous catalyst, with high yields and selectivities.
