(6-Amino-2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)methanol is prepared through both traditional methods and palladium catalyzed iterative C-H halogenation reactions. In comparison to traditional approach, the C-H functionalization strategy demonstrated a few advantages including milder reaction conditions, higher yields, better selectivity and practicality, and high chemical diversity.
- Palladium catalysis,
- C-H halogenation,
- Substituted arenes
