Pd-catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenative aromatization of cyclohexyl rings via benzylic C-H bond activation.

Here, acceptorless dehydrogenative aromatization of cyclohexyl rings via benzylic C-H bond activation has been achieved using a supported Pd nanoparticle catalyst. In particular, Pd(0) nanoparticles formed in situ from Pd hydroxide species during the…
