Water-promoted cascade synthesis of α-arylaldehydes from arylalkenes using N-halosuccinimides: an avenue for asymmetric oxidation using Cinchona organocatalysis

Abstract

The direct oxidation of arylalkenes into α-arylaldehydes is achieved for the first time in water without relying on transition metal catalysts, and a novel organocatalytic enantioselective approach is also explored to provide up to 30% ee in initial investigations.
