Abstract
Open access: The normally less-reactive β position of thiophenes was previously inaccessible to direct functionalization. However, the β selectivity observed with the catalytic system PdCl2/P{OCH(CF 3)2}3/Ag2CO3 in the arylation of thiophenes with iodoarenes (see scheme) is a remarkably general phenomenon applicable to unsubstituted, monosubstituted, and disubstituted thiophene derivatives, as well as thiophene-containing fused aromatic compounds.
