Abstract

Recently, metal-free reactions have shown the same levels of efficiency as metal-catalyzed reactions. 8 Barluenga et al. have developed a novel metal-free carbon–carbon bond-forming reaction between tosylhydrazones and boronic acids. 9a Subsequently, Barluenga et al. reported the synthesis of ethersvia the metal-free reductive coupling of tosylhydrazones with alcohols or phenols in the presence of base, 9b and the procedure inserted a carbene into the ...
