A transition-metal-free oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction has been developed for the preparation of symmetrical carboxylic anhydrides through self-coupling dual C–O bond formations of aryl methanols. In the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrabutylphosphonium bromide (TBPB) as transfer agent and aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant and reactant, methylene groups of aryl methanols were efficiently oxidized to C=O and coupled with the peroxide oxygen from TBHP to form a diverse array of symmetrical carboxylic anhydride derivatives.

A novel and transition-metal-free strategy has been developed for the synthesis of aryl esters starting from corresponding benzylic primary alcohols as the exclusive substrates using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as a terminal oxidant in the presence of catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) and imidazole, where the aliphatic alcohols remained unaffected. These reactions are highly chemoselective and associated with high yield and wide applicability accommodating a wide range of substituents. Excellent chemoselectivity has also been demonstrated through intramolecular competition experiments. This protocol can be considered as an important analogue of Tishchenko reaction using benzylic alcohols as the substrates instead of benzaldehydes.

An ammonium iodide catalyzed direct oxidative coupling of silanes with alcohols to give various alkoxysilane derivatives was discovered. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide proved to be an efficient oxidant for this transformation. Attractive features of this protocol include its transition-metal-free nature and the mild reaction conditions.

Here we report a visible-light-promoted metal-free regioselective C3-H trifluoromehtylation reaction that proceeds via radical mechanism and which supported by control experiments. The combination of photoredox catalysis and hypervalent iodine reagent provides a practical approach for the present trifluoromethylation reaction and synthesis of a library of trifluoromethylated indazoles.
