“…The vast majority of palladium-catalyzed arene C À H oxygenations utilize simple palladium salts (e.g., Pd(OAc) 2 or PdCl 2 ), [3][4][5] and literature studies have provided conflicting data about the influence of added ligands on these reactions. Several reports have shown that most common ligands (e.g., 2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, pyridine, triphenylphosphine oxide, etc.)…”
