Abstract

Cross dehydrogenative coupling reactions occurring via base-promoted homolytic aromatic substitutions (BHASs) are reported. Fluorenones and xanthones are readily prepared via CDC starting with readily available ortho-formyl biphenyls and ortho-formyl biphenylethers, respectively. The commercially available and cheap t BuOOH is used as an oxidant. Initiation of the radical chain reaction is best achieved with small amounts of FeCp2 (0.1 or ...
