Abstract

Abstract A general, green, and scalable synthesis of the useful imines and α, β-unsaturated imines is successfully achieved by a low-loading and powerful, mild and efficient copper- catalyzed aerobic oxidative reaction of alcohols and amines in the open air at room temperature under base-and dehydrating reagent-free conditions. This practical reaction can use air as the economic and green oxidant, tolerates a wide range of substrates, can ...
