A new and general synthetic methodology for the construction of biaryl, heterobiaryl, and polyaryl molecules by the ruthenium-catalyzed cross-coupling of ortho-methoxy naphthamides with aryl boroneopentylates is described. The isomeric 1-MeO-2-naphthamides and 2-MeO-1-naphthamides furnish an expansive series of arylated naphthamides in excellent yields. Competition experiments showed the higher reactivity of 1-MeO-2-naphthamide over 2-MeO-benzamide. Orthogonality between the C-O activation/cross-coupling and the Suzuki-Miyaura reactions was established. The method provides naphthalenes which are difficult to prepare by directed ortho metalation.

Methods are described for efficient and regioselective reactions that are Ru-catalyzed and either (i) amide-directed C—H, C—N, C—O activation/C—C bond forming reactions, (ii) ester-directed C—O and C—N activation/C—C bond forming reactions, or (iii) amide
