Abstract

Abstract The cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of cyclic benzyl ethers with aliphatic and α, β-unsaturated aldehydes has been developed. The mild reaction conditions, in which an N-oxoammonium salt derived from TEMPO (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinoxyl) is employed as the oxidant in combination with a Cu catalyst, allow the use of relatively redox- unstable aldehydes under oxidative CDC conditions. The addition of a catalytic amount of ...
