J Org Chem. 2017 Oct 20;82(20):10912-10919. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.7b01729. Epub 2017 Oct 9.

Abstract

An efficient and practical protocol for the synthesis of (E)-allylethers from readily available olefins with alcohols or phenols was developed. This aerobic oxidative allylic C-H oxygenation protocol features mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and high atom and step economy, making it a valuable and convenient synthetic method. Notably, molecular oxygen is the sole oxidant in this novel transformation.
