Abstract
The creation of quaternary carbon centers has been a formidable challenge in organic synthesis due to steric impediments, especially for the polyaryl substituted quaternary carbon centers. Up to now, a few of methods were reported for achieving the α-arylation of 3-aryloxindoles to construct 3,3-diaryloxindoles. We now asserted the TfOH-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction between the tertiary C(sp3)-H and readily available arenes under air atmosphere in green reaction medium for rapid construction of 3,3-diaryloxindoles. In addition, the mechanism of the metal-free cross-dehydrogenative coupling with air as oxidant was meticulously explored.
期刊介绍:
Chemistry—An Asian Journal is an international high-impact journal for chemistry in its broadest sense. The journal covers all aspects of chemistry from biochemistry through organic and inorganic chemistry to physical chemistry, including interdisciplinary topics.
Chemistry—An Asian Journal publishes Full Papers, Communications, and Focus Reviews.
A professional editorial team headed by Dr. Theresa Kueckmann and an Editorial Board (headed by Professor Susumu Kitagawa) ensure the highest quality of the peer-review process, the contents and the production of the journal.
Chemistry—An Asian Journal is published on behalf of the Asian Chemical Editorial Society (ACES), an association of numerous Asian chemical societies, and supported by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh, German Chemical Society), ChemPubSoc Europe, and the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS).
