Direct Arylation of Benzyl Ethers with Organozinc Reagents
A novel CÂ(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bond arylation of benzyl ethers
with Knochel-type arylzinc reagents has been developed. This transition-metal-catalyst-free
reaction proceeds well under mild conditions in a simple and effective
manner and enables the synthesis of a wide range of potentially biologically
active benzyl ethers by using highly functionalized organozinc reagents
as a carbon nucleophile
