Palladium‐Catalyzed Direct Oxidative CH Cross‐Coupling of Azoarenes with Alcohols

Abstract

Abstract A palladium‐catalyzed cascade oxidative CH cross‐coupling of azoarenes with alcohols was developed using tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant. This reaction provides a convenient access to ortho ‐acylazoarenes under mild conditions in which readily available alcohols were used as the acyl sources. magnified image
