Ligand-Free Copper(I)-Catalyzed Benzylic Acyloxylation of 2-Alkylpyridines under Aerobic Conditions

Abstract: A ligand-free copper­(I)-catalyzed benzylic acyloxylation of 2-alkylpyridines with carboxylic acids was realized by using 1.0 atm of O2 as a green oxidant. The transformation provided a facile access to a wide range of N-heterocyclic esters through C–O bond formation, with broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Preliminary mechanistic investigations showed that this protocol included a radical process.

“…Cu(I)‐catalyzed benzylic acyloxylation of 2‐alkylpyridines 151 with carboxylic acids using O 2 as oxidant was reported by Li and Yao with coworkers. [ 97 ] In contrast to the earlier results, [ 95,96 ] this process was ligand‐free and employed environmentally benign oxidant. The optimized reaction protocol provided access to a number of 2‐pyridine‐methyl and some other N ‐heterocycle ester derivatives of the type 152 (Scheme 23).…”

“…Although aliphatic carboxylic acids were also tested as coupling partners, the yields were generally low (35∼55%). More recently, Yao and co‐workers revealed a method for copper(I)‐catalyzed benzylic acyloxylation of 2‐alkylpyridines under 1 atm of O 2 . Importantly, the above oxygen‐mediated reactions are difficult to perform on large scales and are generally avoided by the pharmaceutical industry due to safety issues relating to flammability Shi and co‐workers, on the other hand, achieved the copper(II)‐mediated ortho ‐hydroxylation of benzamides by the use of 2.0 equivalents of Ag 2 CO 3 as the oxidant .…”

“…Additionally, Li and co-workers recently developed the ligand-free Cu-catalyzed acyloxylation of benzylic C−H bonds with carboxylic acids under aerobic conditions (Scheme 60h). 505 Apart from peroxides, N−F reagents can also play the role of exogenous oxidants to achieve Cu-catalyzed radical C−H functionalization. In 2016, Liu and colleagues developed a Cucatalyzed radical relay reaction for the enantioselective cyanation of benzylic C−H bonds.…”
