Copper-catalyzed aerobic double functionalization of benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds for the synthesis of 3-hydroxyisoindolinones

A copper-catalyzed aerobic 3-hydroxyisoindolinone synthesis was developed via the benzylic double C(sp3)-H functionalization of 2-alkylbenzamides. In this reaction, molecular oxygen was used as both an oxidant for C(sp3)-H functionalization and an oxygen source. Our method can be extended to diverse benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds and shows excellent functional group tolerance. This journal is

A Novel Three-Step Tandem Reaction for Efficient Syntheses of Bulky Anthracenyl Esters from 2-Benzylbenzoic Acids

Bulky anthracenyl esters could be efficiently synthesized from 2-benzylbenzoic acids via a novel three-step tandem reaction containing intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation, enolization, and esterification. A mechanism for the tandem reaction is proposed.
