Abstrakt: A transition-metal-free, t-BuOOH mediated intramolecular carbonylation of arenes in 2-aryl-3-picolines via oxidative C-H functionalizations of the methyl group has been developed, providing an expedient synthesis of 4-azafluorenones. Distinct from the current literature wherein methylarenes have been used as acylating agents, 2-aryl-3-picolines in this study are transformed into aldehydes, which give 4-azafluorenones upon rapid intramolecular acylation. The study demonstrates the first example of intramolecular carbonylation of arenes utilizing a methyl group as latent carbonyl functionality.
