Copper-Catalyzed Esterification of Alkylbenzenes with Cyclic Ethers and Cycloalkanes via C(sp3)–H Activation Following Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling
摘要:
A copper-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling strategy has been developed for the synthesis of two classes of esters from simple solvents. The reaction of methylarenes with cyclic ethers resulted in alpha-acyloxy ethers involving four sp(3) C-H cleavages, while treatment of methylarenes with cycloalkanes led to the formation of allyl esters at the expense of six consecutive sp(3) C-H bonds.
