Abstract

The direct, Pd-catalyzed ortho C-H methylation and fluorination of benzaldehydes have been accomplished using commercially available orthanilic acids as transient directing groups. In these reactions, the 1-fluoro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium salts can be either a bystanding F+ oxidant or an electrophilic fluorinating reagent. An X-ray crystal structure of a benzaldehyde ortho C-H palladation intermediate was obtained using triphenylphosphine as the stabilizing ligand.
