coupling (CDC) reaction for the formation of CC and CP bonds is disclosed using a catalyticamount of DDQ (10 mol %) underaerobicconditions (see scheme). This unprecedented environmentally benign strategy of using AIBN (10 mol %) and molecular oxygen to regenerate DDQ exhibits a larger substrate scope. For the first time, an efficient utility of 4‐hydroxycoumarins as pronucleophiles for CDC is presented
A versatile aerobic catalytic system (I-2 and O-2/TBHP) for C-H functionalization is reported. This CDC (cross-dehydrogentive coupling) reaction is compatible with a large number of nucleophiles and is performed under ambient reaction conditions. The scope of the metal-free CDC is illustrated by synthesizing a variety of functionalized tetrahydroisoquinolines and N,N-dimethylaniline. The highlight of the method is a Friedel-Crafts reaction of phenols and indole with tertiary amines.
