Abstract
A photochemical FeCl3-catalyzed the C(sp3)-H activation of aryl ethers was achieved via hydrogen atom abstraction strategy of chlorine radicals. Followed by the tandem hydrolysis, the aryl ethers were converted into the corresponding phenol products (28 examples). Compared with traditional reductive deprotection methods for aryl ethers, such as Pd/C, Mg/alcohol system and so forth, our strategy features mild reaction conditions, atom economy, and wide functional group compatibility. In addition, several control experiments were conducted to investigate the reasonable mechanism.
期刊介绍:
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
