Abstract:A Ni-catalyzed
cross-coupling is utilized as a reversed strategy
for the homogeneous deprotection of benzyl ethers. The reaction is
accelerated in batch using microwave heating or in flow using superheating
in a plug flow reactor to achieve the desired (hetero)aromatic alcohols
bearing heterocycles, alkenes, and ethers within 1 h. This work highlights
an alternative debenzylation strategy in flow for cases where hydrogenation
using heterogeneous catalysts is not a viable option.
