Rhodium-catalyzed ortho acylation of aromatic carboxylic acids

New directions: The carboxylic acid functional group directs the ortho acylation of benzoic acids with carboxylic anhydrides in the presence of a rhodium catalyst (see scheme; cod=cyclo-1,5-octadiene). The acylation at the ortho position is complementary to the meta selectivity of Friedel-Crafts reactions. The resulting products can undergo protodecarboxylation to deliver an aryl ketone. Copyright
