<i>para</i>‐Selective Aerobic Oxidative CH Olefination of Aminobenzenes Catalyzed by Palladium/Molybdovanadophosphoric acid/2,4,6‐Trimethylbenzoic Acid System

Abstract

Pick of the bunch: Oxidative CH olefination of aminobenzenes with acrylates was achieved using a palladium/molybdovanadophosphoric acid (HPMoV)/2,4,6-trimethylbenzoic acid (TMBA) system under O2 (1 atm) in DMF. The highly regio- and stereoselective CH olefination of basic substrates such as aminobenzenes is important in organic synthesis; (E)-para-alkenyl-substituted aminobenzenes were produced in high yields.
