A general, facile and eco-friendly iron catalysis enables oxidation of unstrained tertiary aromatic alcohols to ketones through C−C bond cleavage even with H2O2 as the oxidant. Notably, this transformation can tolerate oxidation-labile functional groups. The robustness of this method is further demonstrated on the late-stage oxidation of complex bioactive molecules.
一种通用、简便且环保的铁催化方法,即使使用 H 2 O 2作为氧化剂,也能通过 C−C 键断裂将无张力的叔芳香醇氧化为酮。值得注意的是,这种转化可以耐受氧化不稳定的官能团。该方法的稳健性在复杂生物活性分子的后期氧化中得到进一步证明。
