Selective C(sp)-C(sp) bond construction is of central interest in chemical synthesis. Despite the success of classic cross-coupling reactions, the cross-dehydrogenative coupling between inert C(sp)-H and C(sp)-H bonds represents an attractive alternative toward new C(sp)-C(sp) bonds. Herein, we establish a selective inter- and intramolecular C(sp)-H arylation of alcohols with nondirected arenes that thereby provides a general pathway to access a wide range of β-arylated alcohols, including tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ols and benzopyran-3-ols, with high to excellent chemo- and regioselectivity.
选择性C(sp)-C(sp)键的构建是化学合成中的核心研究内容。尽管经典的交叉偶联反应取得了成功,但惰性C(sp)-H键与C(sp)-H键之间的交叉脱氢偶联反应,为形成新型C(sp)-C(sp)键提供了一种有吸引力的替代方法。在此,我们实现了醇与非导向芳烃之间的分子间和分子内选择性C(sp)-H芳基化反应,从而提供了一条通用途径,能够以高至优异的化学和区域选择性获得多种β-芳基化醇,包括四氢萘-2-醇和苯并吡喃-3-醇。
