Wang-Yu non-directed C-H functionalization ligand CAS NO.38609-76-6

This 2-pyridone ligand developed in the laboratory of Jin-Quan Yu binds to palladium and accelerates non-directed C-H functionalization. Developed for C-H olefination and carboxylation with arene as the limiting reagent, the Wang-Yu ligand enables diversification of drugs, synthetic intermediates, and other bioactive small molecules.
