General, Auxiliary-Enabled Photoinduced Pd-Catalyzed Remote Desaturation of Aliphatic Alcohols

JacsGeneral, Auxiliary-Enabled Photoinduced Pd-Catalyzed Remote Desaturation of Aliphatic Alcohols: A general, efficient, and site-selective visible light-induced Pd-catalyzed remote desaturation of aliphatic alcohols into valuable allylic, homoallylic, and bis-homoallylic alcohols has been developed. This transformation operates via a hybrid Pd-radical mechanism, which synergistically combines the favorable features of radical approaches, such as a facile remote C –H HAT step, with that of transition-metal-catalyzed chemistry (selective β-hydrogen elimination step).
