Abstract

Biarylketones are important building blocks in both natural products and functional materials. 1 Several traditional syntheses of these compounds have been reported. 2,3 Of these approaches, transition-metal-catalyzed direct synthesis of biaryl ketones has emerged as a powerful method in organic synthesis. 4 In this context, Ishiyama and Hartwig observed a rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular Heck-type reaction of aryl iodides with N-heterocyclic aldimines to form the ...
