Expanding applications of copper-based metal–organic frameworks in catalysis: Oxidative C–O coupling by direct C–H activation of ethers over Cu2(BPDC)2(BPY) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst

The metal-organic framework Cu2(BPDC)2(BPY) exhibited high catalytic activity in the copper-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction of ethers with 2-carbonyl-substituted phenols. [Display omitted] •Cu2(BPDC)2(BPY) was used as catalyst for the reaction of ethers with phenols.•The catalyst e...
