Abstract
We report a general and effective Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed C-O cross-coupling synthesis of di- and trisubstituted vinylic ethers, using a combination of N-isopropylimidazole ligand and dicumyl peroxide as stoichiometric oxidant. This method couples functionalized vinylic pinacolboronates with various 1° and 2° alcohols to provide single-step syntheses of novel and structurally complex vinylic ethers. The optimized conditions do not require excess alcohol reactant and substantially suppress competing side reactions.
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.
