A novel metal-free oxidative 1,2-alkylarylation of unactivated alkenes with the α-C(sp(3))-H bonds of acetonitriles for the synthesis of 5-oxo-pentanenitriles is presented. In the presence of TBPB (tert-butyl peroxybenzoate), a variety of α-aryl allylic alcohols underwent the 1,2-alkylarylation reaction with acetonitriles, giving 5-oxo-pentanenitriles in good to excellent yields. This method proceeds via the C(sp(3))-H oxidative coupling with the C-C double bond and 1,2-aryl-migration, and represents a new access to acyclic molecules through metal-free oxidative alkene 1,2-alkylarylation.
本文报道了一种新颖的无金属氧化反应,即未活化烯烃与乙腈的α-C(sp(3))-H键进行1,2-烷基芳基化反应,用于合成5-氧代戊腈。在过氧苯甲酸叔丁酯(TBPB)存在下,多种α-芳基烯丙醇与乙腈发生1,2-烷基芳基化反应,以良好至优异的产率得到5-氧代戊腈。该方法通过C(sp(3))-H与C-C双键的氧化偶联以及1,2-芳基迁移进行,代表了一种通过无金属氧化烯烃1,2-烷基芳基化获得非环状分子的新途径。
