TLDR
Experimental and computational evidence indicates that the pivalate anion is a key component in the palladium-pivalic acid cocatalyst system, that it lowers the energy of C-H bond cleavage and acts as a catalytic proton shuttle from benzene to the stoichiometric carbonate base.
Abstract
A palladium−pivalic acid cocatalyst system has been developed that exhibits unprecedented reactivity in direct arylation This reactivity is illustrated with the first examples of high yielding direct metalation−arylation reactions of a completely unactivated arene, benzene Experimental and computational evidence indicates that the pivalate anion is a key component in the palladation/C−H bond breaking event, that it lowers the energy of C−H bond cleavage and acts as a catalytic proton shuttle from benzene to the stoichiometric carbonate base Eight examples of substituted aryl bromides are included which undergo direct arylation with benzene in 55−85% yield
