Abstract
A strategy for cross‐dehydrogenative C(sp2)‐C(sp3) coupling was developed by direct and highly selective V‐catalyzed ortho‐aminomethylation of phenol with aniline derivatives. A series of aminomethylphenol compounds were obtained in moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions and with a broad substrate scope. A possible radical mechanism was proposed, and it was found that the coordination of phenolic hydroxyl groups with V5+ was crucial for the effective activation of the ortho position.
期刊介绍:
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
