Site selectivity control is of vital importance in the direct functionalization of inert C-H bonds. Reported here is a novel example of remote regiodivergent <i>ortho</i>- and <i>meta</i>-C-H bond functionalizations of phenylethylamine derivatives by using a novel 2-cyanobenzoyl group as the original directing functionality, where the regioselectivity was adjusted by a methylation. The potential of the method was exemplified by sequential functionalizations of both <i>ortho</i>- and <i>meta</i>- ...[more]
