Palladium-catalyzed oxidation of Boc-protected N-methylamines with IOAc as the oxidant: a Boc-directed sp3 C-H bond activation

Org Lett. 2006 Jul 20;8(15):3387-90. doi: 10.1021/ol061384m.

Abstract

[Structure: see text] Pd-catalyzed selective oxidation of Boc-protected N-methylamines with IOAc as the oxidant is described. Evidence for the involvement of a Boc-directed C-H activation process is provided.
