Recently, we realized the highly selective one-pot synthesis of 2,6-diarylpyridines by using a Pd-catalyzed direct C-H arylation approach via a transient activator strategy. Although methylation reagent as a transient activator and Cu(I) salt or oxide were found to be prerequisites, details regardin...
