Iron-Catalyzed Oxidative C-O and C-N Coupling Reactions Using Air as Sole Oxidant.

ABSTRACT: We describe the oxygenation of tertiary arylamines, and the amination of tertiary arylamines and phenols. The key step of these coupling reactions is an iron-catalyzed oxidative C-O or C-N bond formation which generally provides the corresponding products in high yields and with excellent regioselectivity. The transformations are accomplished using hexadecafluorophthalocyanine-iron(II) (FePcF₁₆ ) as catalyst in the presence of an acid or a base additive and require only ambient air as sole oxidant.
