Dehydrogenation of Inert Alkyl Groups via Remote C−H Activation: Converting a Propyl Group into a π-Allylic Complex Ramesh Giri Nathan Maugel Bruce M.

A novel redox is proposed for this double oxidation under oxidant-free conditions. A catalytic protocol using benzoquinone as the stoichiometric oxidant has also been developed for the dehydrogenation of cyclopentylcarboxamides. 2008-04-28 00:00:00 Allylic Inert Alkyl Groups dehydrogenation benzoquinone stoichiometric oxidant ComplexPd Activation alkyl group Remote activation Propyl Group allylic oxidation cyclopentylcarboxamide novel redox sp Dehydrogenation Converting bond
