ChemInform Abstract: Palladium-Catalyzed C—H Bond Carboxylation of Acetanilides: An Efficient Usage of N,N-Dimethyloxamic Acid as the Carboxylate Source.
A novel Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling between acetanilides and N,N-dimethyloxamic acid (II) is presented, using the latter for the first time as carboxylate source in C—H bond carboxylations.
