Abstract
A direct Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalization of benzoquinone (BQ) can be controlled to give either mono- or disubstituted BQ, including the installation of two different groups in a one-pot procedure. BQ can now be directly functionalized with aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, and cyclo-alkene groups and, moreover, the reaction is conducted in environmentally benign water or acetone as solvents.
