A palladium-catalyzed ortho-alkoxylation of anilides with both primary and secondary alcohols via ligand-directed C-H activation has been explored. This alkoxylation promoted by catalytic methanesulfonic acid proceeds well at room temperature in most cases and affords aryl alkyl ethers in moderate to good yields.
Jiang et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
