Pd(OAc)2 promoted bis‐N‐heterocyclic carbene‐catalyzed oxidative transformation of aldehydes

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The bis‐N‐heterocyclic carbene‐catalyzed (bis‐NHC‐catalyzed) oxidative transformation of aldehydes was successfully studied in water under air. The reaction rate increased through the use of Pd(OAc)2 as an additive. Notably, the catalytic system exhibited good tolerance toward aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes bearing halide and alkyl functional groups. In addition, gram‐scale reaction was also tested in this study. The use of water and operational simplicity make this methodology environmentally benign and cost‐effective.
