The direct oxidation of arylalkenes into α-arylaldehydes is achieved for the first time in water without relying on transition metal catalysts, and a novel organocatalytic enantioselective approach is also explored to provide up to 30% ee in initial investigations.
首次在
水中直接将芳基烯烃氧化为α-芳基醛,而无需依赖过渡
金属催化剂。此外,还探索了一种新颖的有机催化剂手性选择性方法,在初步研究中可实现最高30%的外消旋过量。
