General description

4-Methoxybenzyl chloride undergoes mild oxidative claevage with ceric ammonium nitrate.

Application

4-Methoxybenzyl chloride was used to benzylate the aniline nitrogen. It was also used in the synthesis of 1-naphthamide and diarymethanes via Suzuki cross-coupling with postassium aryltrifluoroborates.
O/N protecting group reagent which can be mildly oxidatively cleaved, e.g., with ceric ammonium nitrate.

[reaction: see text] The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of potassium aryltrifluoroborates with benzylic halides occurs in good yield with high functional group tolerance. The increased stability of potassium aryltrifluoroborates compared to other boron coupling partners makes this an effective route to functionalized
