Oxidative Debenzylation of N-Benzyl Amides and O-Benzyl Ethers Using Alkali Metal Bromide
摘要:
The oxidative debenzylation of N-benzyl amides and O-benzyl ethers was promoted with high efficiency by a bromo radical formed through the oxidation of bromide from alkali metal bromide under mild conditions. This reaction provided the corresponding amides from N-benzyl amides and carbonyl compounds from O-benzyl ethers in high yields.
Catalytic dehydrogenative dual functionalization of ethers: dealkylation–oxidation–bromination accompanied by C–O bond cleavage via aerobic oxidation of bromide
A catalytic dehydrogenative dual functionalization (DDF) of ethers viaoxidation, dealkylation, and α-bromination by the aerobic oxidation of bromide was developed to obtain the corresponding α-bromo ketones in high yields. In particular, the reaction of substituted tetrahydrofurans as cyclic ethers provided 3,3-dibromo tetrahydrofuran-2-ols in high yields selectively through the double α-bromination
