Rh(III) Catalyzed Direct ortho Chalcogenation of Phenols and Anilines.
A highly efficient Rh(III) catalyzed direct C H chalcogenation of phenols and anilines has been achieved with the assistance of the 2 pyridyl group. The reaction features a broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, complete monothiolation selectivity, and easily removable directing group.
