Abstract
Benzylic carboxylates and carbonates react with various moleculesin the presence of homogeneous palladium or cobalt catalysts. Thecatalytic transformations occur at the benzylic carbons of the substrates,affording benzylic substitution products. This review surveys thecatalytic reactions using benzylic carboxylates and carbonates assubstrates. Furthermore, the related studies on (η 3 -benzyl)metalcomplexes are summarized in order to facilitate the understandingand consideration of the catalytic substitution. 1 Introduction 2 Chemistry of the (η 3 -benzyl)metalcomplexes are summarized in order to facilitate the understandingand consideration of the catalytic substitution. 1 Introduction 2 Chemistry of the (η 3 -Benzyl)metalComplex 2.1 Structure of the (η 3 -Benzyl)metalComplex 2.1 Structure of the (η 3 -Benzyl)metalComplex 2.2 Reactivity of the (η 3 -Benzyl)metalComplex 2.2 Reactivity of the (η 3 -Benzyl)metalComplex 3 Catalytic Transformations of Benzylic Esters 3.1 Nucleophilic Substitution 3.2 Cross-Coupling with Organometallic Compounds 3.3 Miscellaneous Reactions 4 Concluding Remarks
