tBuOK-triggered bond formation reactions†
Abstract
Recently, inexpensive and readily available tBuOK has seen widespread use in transition-metal-free reactions. Herein, we report the use of tBuOK for S–S, S–Se, NN and C
N bond formations, which significantly extends the scope of tBuOK in chemical synthesis. Compared with traditional methods, we have realized mild and general methods for disulfide, azobenzenes imine etc. synthesis.
