Exploiting the Reactivity of Fluorinated 2-Arylpyridines in Pd-Catalyzed C-H Bond Arylation for the Preparation of Bright Emitting Iridium(III) Complexes.

Pd-catalyzed C–H bond arylation applied to 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (1) and 2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (5) allows the access to two families of Ir(...
