Abstract:We describe an efficient and versatile method for the direct C−H arylation of xanthines with aryl halides using Pd/P(o‐tolyl)3 as catalyst and Ag2O as an additive. Silver salts have been frequently used as an additive in the Pd‐catalyzed C−H bond activation reactions albeit in excessive amounts (2 to 4 eq.). Herein, we use of a stoichiometric amount (0.1 to 1 eq.) of Ag2O to obtain the optimum yields of C‐8 arylated products. This method exhibits broad substrate scope and enables synthesis of a wide range of x… Show more
