Cobalt/Salicylaldehyde-Enabled C–H Alkoxylation of Benzamides with Secondary Alcohols under Solvothermal Conditions
The Journal of organic chemistry(2024)
Abstract
C–O bond formation via C–H alkoxylation remains a challenge, especially coupling with a secondary alcohol, due to its low activity and sterically encumbered property. Here, we report a general and effective cobalt-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of benzamides with secondary alcohols via C–H alkoxylation reaction under solvothermal conditions, enabled by a salicylaldehyde/cobalt complex. The protocol features easy operation without additives, broad substrate scope, and excellent functional tolerance. The applicability is proven by the gram-scale synthesis and modification of natural products.
