Abstract

DDQ-mediated C–O bond formation through cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction without any metal catalyst under mild conditions was developed. Series of isochromans and oximes could be employed as substrates, and the products were ­obtained in good yields.

Key words

cross-dehydrogenative coupling - C–H activation - DDQ - metal-free - oxidation
