Copper 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole (CuTPFC) catalyzed oxidative cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of allylic sp 3 -C-H bonds and acids had been investigated in a homogeneous system, which provided allylic esters smoothly. This reaction proceeded with broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. In a gram scale test, the turnover number (TON) reached 5100 at only 0.01 mol% catalyst loading, indicating the current catalytic system has potential uses in the allylic esters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
