Palladium-Catalyzed Direct Addition of 2-Aminobenzonitriles to Sodium Arylsulfinates: Synthesis of o-Aminobenzophenones

The first example of the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of o-aminobenzophenones in moderate to excellent yields via a direct addition of sodium arylsulfinates to unprotected 2-aminobenzonitriles was reported. A plausible mechanism for the formation of o-aminobenzophenones involving desulfination an...
