A rhodium-catalyzed synthesis of phenylacetate has been realized by direct C-H carboxymethylation of anilines bearing removable directing groups. The reaction occurred most efficiently in air, without any external base or oxidant. This methodology is expected to provide a facile and general access to various bioactive 2-amino aromatic acetic acid derivatives.
通过对带有可除去导向基团的苯胺进行直接C-H羧甲基化反应,实现了铑催化的苯乙酸酯合成。该反应在空气中能最有效地进行,无需任何外部碱或氧化剂。预计该方法能为各种生物活性2-氨基芳基乙酸衍生物提供一种简便通用的合成途径。
