A brief review on the palladium-catalyzed C–H activation reactions of 2-phenylpyridines

position of 2-phenyl pyridine has been identified as a prime target for C-H activation due to its unique electronic and steric properties. This mild and selective transformation has enormous applications in the chemical field, such as drug discovery, natural products, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries. These highly regioselective, chemo-selective, eco-friendly reactions exhibit a wide substrate scope. This review accounts for the development of various palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalisation reactions of 2-phenyl pyridine.
