What is it about?

The paper describes high-throughput (HTP) encapsulated nanodroplet crystallization (ENaCt) method and the X-ray structure of of a benzamide bearing 4-aminoantipyrine. The benzamide was synthesized following standard amide synthesis protocols. The goal was Ru-catalyzed C-H bond arylation with aryl bromides that we reported to be successful.

Why is it important?

The high-throughput (HTP) encapsulated nanodroplet crystallization (ENaCt) performed on the 2-methylbenzamide bearing 4-aminoantipyrine paved the way for X-ray structure determination. The X-ray structure provided conclusive evidence for the benzamide structure. Therefore, laying ground for conclusive confirmation of regioselectivity/site-selectivity of the successful Ru-catalyzed ortho-C-H bond arylation.

Perspectives

This work is crucial towards conclusive confirmation of regioselectivity/site-selectivity of the successful Ru-catalyzed ortho-C-H bond arylation that we reported recently. Conclusive determination of the regioselectivity of C-H bond functionalization is of critical importance. In particular, the work is critical towards determination of the directing ability of 4-aminoantipyrine as a bidentate directing group in C-H bond functiolization.
