Abstract

A new method for intermolecular sp3-sp3 C-C bond formation between primary aliphatic alcohol and olefin by use of a RhCl(PPh3)3 (cat.)/BF3·OEt2 (2.5 equiv)/BuBr (0.5 equiv)/toluene system was first disclosed, which possessed quite significant utilities for organic synthesis, especially for that of secondary alcohols. The most significant aspect is the discovery that rhodium-catalyzed C-H bond activation of alcohols is feasible under Lewis acid-promoted conditions.
