[FeIII(TF4DMAP)OTf] catalysed anti-Markovnikov oxidation of terminal aryl alkenes to aldehydes and transformation of methyl aryl tertiary amines to formamides with H2O2 as a terminal oxidant†
Abstract
Anti-Markovnikov oxidation of terminal aryl alkenes to aldehydes and transformation of N-methyl aryl tertiary amines to formamides with H2O2 as a terminal oxidant under mild conditions have been achieved with moderate to good product yields using [FeIII(TF4DMAP)OTf] as catalyst.
