Carbonylation of Csp3−H Bonds through Oxidative Wittig‐Type Reaction: An Unprecedented Version of Wittig Reaction

Abstract

A Wittig‐type reaction was achieved by radical cation salt induced aerobic oxidation of Csp3−H bonds. Different from the “standard” version of the Wittig reaction, in which a carbon‐carbon double bond is formed from a carbonyl, carbonyl groups can be installed by similar process.Not from carbonyls but to carbonyls: A Wittig‐type reaction was achieved by radical cation salt induced aerobic oxidation of sp3 C−H bonds. Different from the “standard” version of the Wittig reaction, in which a carbon‐carbon double bond is formed from a carbonyl, carbonyl groups can be installed by similar process.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137437/1/ajoc201600055-sup-0001-misc_information.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137437/2/ajoc201600055.pd
