Significance

The study shows a new catalytic method for the ortho halogenation of arylcarboxylic acids without the need for a nitrogen-containing directing group. Tetraalkylammonium cations as well as organic and inorganic bases such as DBU or DABCO are effective in promoting the C-H activation and enhance the monoselectivity of the halogenation.
