Abstract

A catalytic meta-selective C–H functionalization of 2-phenylpyridines using a range of tertiary halides is described. The protocol is simple to perform and uses commercially available reagents to construct challenging quaternary carbon centres in a regioselective manner. Preliminary studies suggest the C–H functionalization proceeds through a radical process directed via a remote σ-activation.
