Bu4NI-catalyzed C-O bond formation by using a cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction
The creme de la creme! A practical and simple Bu 4NI-catalyzed C-O bond formation was achieved by using a cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the ultimate oxidant (see scheme; R1=aryl
