Cleavage of sp~3 C-O Bonds via Oxidative Addition of C-H Bonds

摘要

The ability of transition-metal complexes to undergo oxidative addition of strong bonds is one of their most characteristic and important traits. In organic chemistry, such reactions are obviously of particular interest in the context of bonds to carbon. The addition of C-Hal bonds has been studied extensively and is a critical step in numerous important catalytic reactions. The oxidative addition of unactivated C-H bonds, first reported in the early 1980s, is now the subject of widespread study and interest. This interest is largely based on the potential value of "functionalizing the C-H bond", for example, by oxidizing it or adding it across an organic unsaturated group such as a C=C double bond.
