Iron-Catalyzed α-Arylation of Deoxybenzoins with Arenes through an Oxidative Dehydrogenative Approach.
A novel α-arylation of deoxybenzoins with non-prefunctionalized arenes is developed through an iron-catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenative approach. The reaction shows broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance and thus provides efficient access to synthetically useful 1,2,2-triarylethanones. A reasonable mechanism is also proposed.
