Transition metal-catalyzed, directed functionalization of C-H bonds have been extensively developed. We have previously reported that bidentate auxiliaries such as 8-aminoquinoline or picolinamide are able to promote C-H activation and functionalization. However, auxiliary removal increases the length of synthetic schemes and often occurs under harsh conditions, thus lessening practicability of the methodology. We report herein a method of cobalt-catalyzed functionalization of sp<sup>2</sup> C-H bonds directed by simple carboxylate functionality.
