Cobalt catalysis demonstrates effective cross-coupling of benzyl alcohols and aryl-chlorides, suggesting new synthetic pathways.
The direct functionalization of alcohols via C–O bond cleavage is a synthetically valuable but challenging transformation. The cobaltaelectrocatalysis cross-coupling allows the direct coupling of benzylic alcohols with arylchlorides to diarylmethane.
