Abstract
A decarboxylative cyanomethylation of β-aryl/heteroaryl substituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids has been accomplished via C(sp3)-H activation of alkyl nitriles to afford diverse γ-ketonitriles by making use of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). The present report offers a metal-free approach and is featured with a broad substitution pattern and functional group compatibility.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
