Abstract: A simple and highly efficient method for the cross-coupling of aromatics by C-H activation is described. Acetamide was found to be an effective cocatalyst for this generally applicable ruthenium(II)-catalyzed direct arylation reaction. A wide range of deactivated aryl chlorides could be efficiently coupled under the mild temperature of 101 °C. The new process is highly atom-economical and sustainable.
