Fe(ii)-Catalyzed alkenylation of benzylic C–H bonds with diazo compounds

Abstract

We report herein an alkenylation of benzylic C(sp3)–H bonds with diazo compounds via carbon cation intermediates with DDQ as the oxidant in the presence of a catalytic amount of Fe(II). Diphenylmethane, toluene, benzyl methyl sulfide and their derivatives could be applied as substrates to afford the tetra-substituted olefin products, which may serve as useful building blocks in organic synthesis.
