Abstract
| - A general protocol for the Pd-catalyzed-arylation of nitroalkanes is described. Substituted arylbromides as well as aryl chlorides can be coupled efficiently with a variety of nitroalkanes undermild conditions to selectively yield the monoarylated products. This method tolerates a number offunctional groups including ketones, esters, and olefins. Notably, the arylation of nitroalkanes canbe effected chemoselectively over ketone and ester arylation.
