Metal-Free Aerobic Oxidative C–O Coupling of C(sp3)–H with Carboxylic Acids Catalyzed by DDQ and tert-Butyl Nitrite

The formation of the C–O bond is one of the hot topics in the area of C(sp3)–H bond functionalization. A metal-free oxidative cross-coupling between benzylic C(sp3)–H bond and carboxylic acids has been developed. The reactions were performed with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) as the catalyst, tert-butyl nitrite (TBN) as the co-catalyst, and molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant. A variety of diarylmethanes could be successfully coupled with various carboxylic acids to obtain diarylmethanol esters in good to excellent yields. In addition, 2-benzylbenzoic acids could be converted into phthalides in moderate yields through an intramolecular oxidative cyclization.
