46. 2 (0.05 mmol, 10 mol %), and benzoyl peroxide (1 mmol) in acetonitrile (2 mL) was sealed in a 8 mL vial with a Teflon-lined cap. The mixture was heated at 160 °C (oil bath temperature) for 10 min. Caution: Aryl acylperoxides are potentially explosive and should be handled with care and in small quantities.
47. 2 catalyst, la (87%) was recovered with trace quantities of isomeric o-, m-, and p-arylated products being observed by GC-MS.
48. Performing the arylation of oximes in MeCN/AcOH medium produced a complicated mixture, and extensive hydrolysis of the oximes was observed (see Table S10 in Supporting Information for results).
49. See Supporting Information for details.
50. With 2-methoxylbenzoyl peroxide as reagent, no arylation but carboxylation products formation was observed with recovery of la.
51. A plausible alternative route to arylcarboxylation is via oxidative addition of the peroxide to Pd(II) to give a reactive Pd(IV) species, which would subsequently undergo reductive elimination; see: Canty, A. J.; Jin, H.; Skelton, B. W.; White, A. H. Inorg. Chem. 1998, 37, 3975.
52. Ritter and co-workers disclosed a radical mechanism for the Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed heteroatom C-H functionalization, and formation of a Pd(III) -Pd(III) intermediate was proposed; see: Powers, D. C.; Ritter, T. Nat. Chem. 2009, 1, 302-309.
