Cobalt-catalyzed directed : ortho-methylation of arenes with methyl tosylate

A cobalt-catalyzed directed ortho C-H methylation reaction of arenes has been achieved using readily available methyl tosylate as a methylating agent. An in situ-generated cobalt-N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst in combination with neopentylmagnesium bromide promotes the methylation at room temperatu...
