Direct C–N Coupling of Imidazoles and Benzylic Compounds via Iron-Catalyzed Oxidative Activation of C–H Bonds
摘要:
Iron-catalyzed direct C-N bond formation between imidazoles and benzylic hydrocarbons is described. The reaction utilizes an inexpensive iron catalyst-oxidant system that is suitable for the coupling of a range of benzylic C-H bonds with various imidazoles.
