Graphical Abstract

Catch desired couplings: The non-directed cross-dehydrogenative coupling of allylic C(sp3)−H bonds with (hetero)arene C(sp2)−H bonds is enabled by C−H activation and employs abundant chemical feedstocks: olefins and (hetero)arenes. A particular highlight of this mild reaction is the applicability in late-stage functionalization reactions.

Abstract

Herein, we report the selective, non-directed and cross-dehydrogenative coupling of allylic C(sp3)−H bonds with C(sp2)−H bonds of (hetero)arenes. The methodology employs olefins and (hetero)arenes which are abundantly available chemical feedstocks, and could be applied in late-stage functionalization reactions of pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, the system exclusively delivers the allylic C−C coupling products highlighting the preservation of the olefin substitution pattern for further derivatization.
