Low-Valent Ti tanium-Mediated Direct C–OH Bond Cleavage of Benzyl Alcohol Derivatives and Its Application to C–C Bond Formation

摘要

Alcohols, although ubiquitous, have found few practical direct use in radical reactions. Through an esterification or halogenation, alcohols can be employed as the corresponding carbon radical precursors. However, such pre-functionalization steps inevitably elongate synthetic schemes.
