In nature, enzymatic pathways generate C<sub>aryl</sub>-C(O) bonds in a site-selective fashion. Synthetically, C<sub>aryl</sub>-C(O) bonds are synthesised in organometallic reactions using prefunctionalized substrate materials. Electrophilic routes are largely limited to electron-rich systems, non-polar medium, and multiple product formations with a limited scope of general application. Herein we disclose a directed para-selective ketonisation technique of arenes, overriding electronic bias and ...[more]
