A general method for selective ortho C-H arylation of ketone, with boron reagent enabled by rhodium complexes with excellent yields, is developed. The transformation is characterized by the use of air-stable Rh catalyst, high monoarylation selectivity, and excellent yields of

There have been numerous developments in C-H activation reactions in the past decade. Attracted by the ability to functionalize molecules directly at ostensibly unreactive C-H bonds, chemists have discovered reaction conditions that enable reactions of C(sp(2))-H and C(sp(3))-H bonds with
