Abstract

A bidentate directing group enabled regioselective arylation of C(sp2)–H bonds in aromatic carboxamides with aryl iodides under nickel-catalysis is reported, which provides the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. This protocol using the inexpensive and low-toxic Ni catalyst can tolerate a wide range of functional groups.
