Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>An efficient palladium‐catalyzed decarboxylative <italic>ortho</italic>‐acylation of 2‐aryloxypyridines with α‐oxocarboxylic acids is described. In this new transformation, the aromatic C(<italic>sp</italic>²)H bond was successfully acylated to give diverse aromatic ketones regioselectively in moderate to good yields. The pyridine group can be removed easily after the acylation to give the corresponding 2‐hydroxy aromatic ketones.</p> </abstract>
