A manganese dioxide (MnO2)-methanesulfonic acid (CH3SO3H) oxidation system has been developed to efficiently promote direct coupling of benzylic ethers and carbamates with simple ketones via oxidative C-H bond activation. The alkylation proceeds smoothly under air atmosphere to afford the corresponding products in good to excellent yields (53-87%). The employment of the combination of MnO2 and CH3SO3H is attractive on the basis of economical and environmental issues.
Copper(II) catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling of cyclic benzylic ethers with simple carbonyl compounds by Na2S2O8
Copper(II) catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling of cyclic benzylic ethers with a variety of simple carbonyl compounds mediated by Na2S2O8 is developed. The scope of carbonyl components is broad, including simple aldehydes as well as ketones. The use of Na2S2O8 as the oxidant for the CDC reaction is attractive based on economical and environmental factors.
