Organocatalytic Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Dihydroarenes by Dioxygen Using 2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-benzoquinone (DDQ) and NaNO2

The oxidative dehydrogenation of dihydroarenes catalyzed by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-benzoquinone(DDQ) and NaNO2 with dioxygen is reported. The combination of DDQ and NaNO2 showed high efficiency and high selectivity, compared with other benzoquinones and anthraquinones, e.g., >99% conversion of...
