A Cheap and Efficient Oxidant (n-Bu)₄NNO₃-Enabled C(sp²)- and C(sp³)-H Olefination at Room Temperature

To further promote the widely practical application of C-H activation, developing green and mild reaction conditions has invariably been the objective of researchers, especially when it comes to remote C-H activation reactions. Herein, we report a new cheap and powerful (n-Bu)₄NNO₃ oxidant. This oxidant is efficient and universal for Pd(II)-catalyzed sp² and sp³ C-H olefination and allows the reaction to be carried out at room temperature. Because of this, we attempted to make C-H functionalization more economical and environmentally benign.
