Iron-catalyzed ortho C−H arylation and methylation of pivalophenone N−H imines

Iron‐catalyzed ortho C−H arylation and methylation reactions of pivalophenone N−H imines are reported. The pivaloyl N−H imine proved an excellent directing group for the arylation with diarylzinc reagents in the presence of an iron‐diphosphine catalyst and 2,3‐dichlorobutane at room temperature. A s...
