Copper-Catalyzed Benzylic C−H Oxygenation under an Oxygen Atmosphere via N-H Imines as an Intramolecular Directing Group
摘要:
Copper-catalyzed benzylic C-H oxygenation under an oxygen atmosphere was developed starting from carbonitriles and Grignard reagents via N-H imine intermediates. The present process is characterized by the following two-step sequence in a one-pot manner: (1) addition of Grignard reagents to carbonitriles to form N-H imines and (2) benzylic C-H oxygenation (C=O bond formation) triggered by 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer with transient iminyl copper species.

The Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of electron-deficient aryl acetates with arylbromides is reported. The method widens the scope of benzylic partners that can undergo efficient reactivity from highly activated nitrophenylacetates established previously, to a diverse series of substrates bearing modestly stabilizing groups, allowing direct access to functionalized diarylmethanes.
