Rhodium-Catalyzed Redox-Neutral Olefination of Aryldiazenes with Acrylate Esters via C–H Activation and Transfer Hydrogenation
Xiaofei Zhang, Bin Zhang, Xingwei Li
Abstract
Rh(III)-catalyzed redox-neutral C-H olefination of aryldiazenecarboxylates has been realized using arylate esters as the olefinating reagents. This reaction proceeds under mild and redox-neutral conditions, resulting in integration of C-H activation and transfer hydrogenation. The chemoselectivity complements that of previously reported rhodium-catalyzed coupling of the same substrates.
