Ag-Catalyzed ring-opening of tertiary cycloalkanols for C–H functionalization of cyclic aldimines†
Abstract
We firstly describe a silver-catalyzed direct C–H functionalization of cyclic aldimines with cyclopropanols and cyclobutanols via a radical-mediated C–C bond cleavage strategy. The desired products were generated in decent yields with wide substrate scope under mild reaction conditions. In addition, a gram-scale reaction and synthetic transformation of the product were performed.
