1,3-DIOL SYNTHESIS VIA CONTROLLED, RADICAL-MEDIATED C-H FUNCTIONALIZATION

摘要

The conversion of an alcohol into a 1,3- diol via controlled, radical-mediated C-H functionalization has been demonstrated. The method entails nearly quantitative conversion of an alcohol to the corresponding N-substitutedcarbamate, followed by a variant of the Hofffman-Lδffler-Freytag reaction, cyclization, and hydrolysis to provide a 1,3-diol.
