Base metal-catalyzed benzylic oxidation of (aryl)(heteroaryl)methanes with molecular oxygen
The methylene group of various substituted 2- and 4-benzylpyridines, benzyldiazines and benzyl(iso)quinolines was successfully oxidized to the corresponding benzylic ketones using a copper or iron catalyst and molecular oxygen as the stoichiometric oxidant. Application of the protocol in API synthes...
