The oxidation of phenols is the subject of extensive investigation, but there are few catalytic aerobic examples that are chemo- and regioselective. Here we describe conditions for the ortho-oxygenation or oxidative coupling of phenols under copper (Cu)-catalyzed aerobic conditions that give rise to ortho-quinones, biphenols or benzoxepines. We demonstrate that each product class can be accessed selectively
酚类的氧化是广泛研究的主题,但很少有具有化学和区域选择性的催化需氧实例。在这里,我们描述了在铜 (Cu) 催化的有氧条件下苯酚的正氧化或氧化偶联的条件,这些条件会产生邻醌、双酚或苯并氧杂环庚烷。We demonstrate that each product class can be accessed selectively by the appropriate choice of Cu(I) salt, amine ligand, desiccant and reaction temperature. 此外,我们评估了取代基对苯酚的影响,并证明了它们对原氧化和氧化偶联途径之间选择性的影响。
