Abstract: A novel mechanism of organobase-mediated Brook rearrangement and C-C coupling in the copper-catalyzed reductive coupling of benzaldehyde and benzophenone is proposed. The results demonstrate that this reaction proceeds mainly through five sequential elementary steps: transmetalation,… read more here.
