An operationally simple, mild, redox-neutral method for the cross-coupling of α-hydroxyalkyltrifluoroborates is reported. Utilizing an Ir photocatalyst, α-hydroxyalkyl radicals are generated from the single-electron oxidation of the trifluoroborates, and these radicals are subsequently engaged in a nickel-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reaction with aryl halides. The process is highly selective, functional group tolerant, and step economical, which allows the direct synthesis of secondary benzylic alcohol motifs.
报告了一种操作简单、温和、氧化还原中性的α-羟基烷基三氟硼酸盐交叉偶联方法。利用 Ir 光催化剂,通过三氟硼酸盐的单电子氧化生成α-羟基烷基自由基,然后这些自由基与芳基卤化物进行镍催化的 C-C 键形成反应。该过程具有高度选择性、官能团耐受性和经济性,可直接合成仲苄醇基序。
