Despite the fundamental importance of efficient and selective synthesis of widely useful alkylarenes, the direct catalytic C(sp<sup>2</sup>)-H alkylation of unactivated arenes with a readily available alkyl halide remains elusive. Here, we report the catalytic C(sp<sup>2</sup>)-H alkylation reactions of unactivated arenes with alkyl bromides via visible-light induced Pd catalysis. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions without any skeletal rearrangement of the alkyl groups. The dir ...[more]
