Metal-free synthesis of triarylated (Z)-nitrones via H2O-mediated 1,3-dipolar transfer under aerobic conditions
Keyword(s):
A new and environmentally benign protocol aimed at the generation of triarylated (Z)-nitrones in generally good yield has been developed via metal- and catalyst-free H2O-mediated 1,3-dipolar transfer reaction of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with diarylated nitrones under aerobic conditions.
