Abstract

Abstract An aerobic organocatalytic oxidative C [BOND] C bond formation reaction of benzylic C [BOND] H bonds with various C-nucleophiles is described. The coupling reaction proceeds by simply stirring the substrates under elevated partial pressure of oxygen in the presence of a sulfonic acid catalyst at room temperature. Elevation of the pressure enables the reaction of a broad scope of nucleophile substrates otherwise showing poor reactivity ...
