Research Progress on Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C-H Activation/C-O Coupling Reaction of Arenes

doi:10.6023/cjoc201706006

Abstract

Transition metal catalyzed C-H activation/C-O coupling reaction of arenes serves as a powerful strategy for constructing phenols, aryl ethers and phenolic esters, and thus represents a hot topic in the field of organic chemistry. This strategy is effective and atom-economic as it allows people to construct C-O bond directly from arenes, avoiding pre-functionalization of arenes. Recent development on transition metal catalyzed C-H activation/C-O coupling reactions according to different species of transition metal catalysts is summarized. Possible mechanisms of typical protocols are explained and compared. Existing problems and limitations, and a brief outlook in this field is also presented.

Key words: C-H activation, C-O coupling, phenol, aryl ether, phenolic ester
