title: Catalytic amounts of CBr4 mediated dehydrogenative coupling of isochromans with aromatic ketones.
abstract: In the presence of catalytic amounts of CBr4 (a metal-free mediator), an unexpected oxidative dehydrogenative coupling of isochromans with ketones occurred to construct new C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) bonds. The reactions were performed under simple solvent-free aerobic conditions.
