Abstract
A novel and efficient synthesis of 2-aminophenols, 2-aminobenzene-1,3-diols, and heterocycles through Ru-catalyzed C-H mono- and dihydroxylation of anilides has been developed with a new directing group strategy. The reaction demonstrates excellent reactivity, regioselectivity, good functional group tolerance, and high yields.
