either simple copper or iron catalysts. N-protected and unprotected tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQ) could be used as starting materials. Extension of the substrate scope of the pronucleophile from indoles to pyrroles and electron-rich arenes was realized. Additionally, methoxyphenylation is not limited to THIQ but can be carried out on isochroman as well, again employing iron and coppercatalysis.
effect of the waste product hydrogen peroxide. It generates radicals in the presence of acid and ketones, which accelerate the reaction by providing an additional pathway to the reactive hydroperoxide intermediate. This discovery could be applied to achieve other Brønsted acid catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions.
