Catalytic C-Demethylation of Phenols and Anilines Enabled by a Removable Mono-Directing Group The activation of unstrained nonpolar C–C bonds, such as C(aryl)–C(alkyl) bonds, remains challenging to achieve. Existing catalytic strategies predominantly rely on bidentate chelating directing group... https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/jacs.6c01406
