Oxidation Potential Tunable Organic Molecules and Their Catalytic Application to Aerobic Dehydrogenation of Tetrahydroquinolines

Org Lett. 2018 Oct 19;20(20):6436-6439. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.8b02749. Epub 2018 Oct 2.

Abstract

In this work, oxidation potential tunable organic molecules, alkyl 2-phenyl hydrazocarboxylates, were disclosed. The exquisite tuning of their oxidation potentials facilitated a catalytic dehydrogenation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines in the presence of Mn(Pc) and O2.
