Cross Dehydrogenative Coupling (CDC) Reactions of N,N-Disubstituted Formamides, Benzaldehydes and Cycloalkanes

In recent years, reactions of inexpensive and easily available formamides, benzaldehydes and cycloalkanes with various coupling partners have made an impact in the field of cross dehydrogenative coupling. Even in the absence of a benzylic C-H site or a heteroatom at the a-position, these substrates react efficiently under oxidative conditions. This review article highlights recent advances in cross dehydrogenative coupling reactions for C-C and C-heteroatom bond formation with the above substrates.
