Abstract
Herein we present photoinduced cobaloxime-catalyzed selective remote desaturation of aliphatic alcohols. This transformation, which proceeds efficiently at room temperature, facilitates the synthesis of valuable cyclic and acyclic allylic and homoallylic alcohols from readily available saturated aliphatic alcohols. Remarkably, this method obviates the need for external oxidants, noble metal catalysts, and phosphine ligands.
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.
