Abstract
The present invention provides a novel and improved method of functionalizing a C—H bond of an arene compound comprising the step of reacting an organometallic compound having a group 14 element with the arene compound having at least one hydrogen bonded to a carbon in the presence of a catalyst.
Claims23
A method of functionalizing a C—H bond of an arene compound comprising the step of reacting a first organometallic compound with said arene compound in the presence of a catalyst, wherein:
- a. said first organometallic compound comprises a group 14 element;
- and
- b. said arene compound comprises at least one hydrogen bonded to a carbon.
