Direct oxidation of the C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond from benzyltrimethylsilanes to phenolsElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c7cc01868a

A novel pathway for direct conversion of benzylsilanes to phenols by oxidation with Na 2 S 2 O 8 and oxygen is efficiently developed under mild and neutral conditions. The reaction shows good functional group tolerance to afford phenols in moderate yields. The possible mechanism is proposed based on...

Description
Summary:A novel pathway for direct conversion of benzylsilanes to phenols by oxidation with Na 2 S 2 O 8 and oxygen is efficiently developed under mild and neutral conditions. The reaction shows good functional group tolerance to afford phenols in moderate yields. The possible mechanism is proposed based on the isotopic labeling trials. A novel pathway for direct conversion of benzylsilanes to phenols by oxidation with Na 2 S 2 O 8 and oxygen is efficiently developed under mild and neutral conditions.
