Aerobic Oxidative Heck/Dehydrogenation Reactions of Cyclohexenones: Efficient Access to meta‐Substituted Phenols1. Issue 13 (19th February 2013) - Izawa, Yusuke
Abstract Jockeying for the (meta)position: A new dicationic palladium(II) catalyst, employing a 6, 6′‐dimethyl‐2, 2′‐bipyridine ligand, promotes both the aerobic oxidative Heck coupling and dehydrogenation reactions of cyclohexenones. These reactions may be combined in a one‐pot sequence to enable the straightforward synthesis of meta‐substituted phenols (see scheme).
