摘要
A general,facile and eco-friendly iron catalysis enables oxidation of unstrained tertiary aromatic alcohols to ketones through C-C bond cleavage even with H_(2)O_(2) as the oxidant.Notably,this transformation can tolerate oxidation-labile functional groups.The robustness of this method is further demonstrated on the late-stage oxidation of complex bioactive molecules.
