crème de la crème! A practical and simple Bu4NI‐catalyzed CO bondformation was achieved by using a cross‐dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction with tert‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the ultimate oxidant (see scheme; R1=aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl; R2, R3=alkyl, alkyl halide). This approach is the most straightforward method to date for the synthesis of α‐acyloxy ethers. A plausible mechanism has been proposed
奶油!通过使用叔丁基过氧化氢(TBHP)作为最终氧化剂的交叉脱氢偶联(CDC)反应,实现了实用且简单的Bu 4 NI催化的CO键形成(参见方案; R 1 =芳基,杂芳基,烷基; R 2,R 3=烷基,烷基卤)。该方法是迄今为止合成α-酰氧基醚的最直接方法。已经提出了一种合理的机制。
Copper-Catalyzed Formation of C-O Bonds by Oxidative Coupling of Benzylic Alcohols with Ethers
The copper-catalyzedformation of C–Obonds by oxidativecoupling of benzylicalcohols with ethers was realized in open air. A series of α-acyloxy ethers were obtained in good yields with aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant.
Aliphatic and cyclic ethers react smoothly with t-butyl peracetate and t-butyl perbenzoate at 67–90° in the presence of cuprous bromide. The first products of this reaction are the acyloxy derivatives of the ethers, which are unstable under the chosen experimental conditions and decompose to the corresponding carboxylic acids and unsaturated ethers. Thus, 2,3-dihydrofuran was prepared from 2-benzo
