Cp*Rh(III)-catalyzed nitro-directed C–H alkylation/alkenylation of nitroarenes has been reported for the first time. This protocol is associated with the features of high efficiency, broad substrate scope, and good functional group compatibility. Additionally, gram-scale experiments and synthetic applications proved the practicability of the method. Moreover, preliminary mechanistic investigations
首次报道了 Cp*Rh(III) 催化的硝基导向的硝基
芳烃 C–H 烷基化/烯基化反应。该方案具有效率高、底物范围广、官能团兼容性好的特点。此外,克级实验和合成应用证明了该方法的实用性。此外,初步的机理研究一致表明 C-H 键断裂是限速步骤。
